The answer would be letter A. There is no error in this sentence. The word mother-in-law is used correctly. It should include hyphens because it is a compound word; it consists of words joined together to form a new word with a new meaning. Self-reliant is also a compound word like mother-in-law. Ladies should not have an apostrophe because it does not show ownership.
