Garden-path sentences illustrate that interpreting a sentence as each word arrives may lead to errors.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

A garden sentence is defined as a sentence such that when a person starts reading the sentence, that person will have a particular assumption but when that person finishes reading the sentence the assumption will turn out to be wrong.

The sentence would be such that it would rather give a vague or a different meaning. However the sentence will be correct in terms of the grammar, the structure or sentence pattern. In other words, it is an ambiguous statement.
