Correct Answer: C


Solution : The correct answer is option 3.

Explanation:

Part "C" of the sentence contains the mistake.
The possessive case of the pronoun is used in accordance with the subject that is closest to the conjunction "Neither - nor" when two subjects are joined.
His will be used in place of "their."

In the same way, the possessive case of the pronoun is used in accordance with the nearest subject for the words "Either-or," "Not only," "But also," and "None but."
The right response is  Neither the dancer nor the choreographer was dancing in his proper costume.
