Hint:Here we have to find or choose the incorrect part of the sentence and it could be wrong spelling, punctuation, wrong subject verb agreement etc.

Complete answer:
Option A) Nowadays – is an incorrect answer because the use of nowadays is perfectly suited in the sentence. The meaning of nowadays is ‘at the present time’. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Extreme sport – is the correct answer because ‘extreme sport’ is wrongly used here because the subject and verb agreement are not in same direction i.e. subject and verb agreement should follow the same rule, if subject is singular so verb has to be singular and if plural subject is given then verb should also be plural. So, with extreme – use of sport is grammatically wrong. Instead of sport it should be sports. So, the correct sentence should be ‘Nowadays extreme sports seems to have become all rage’ and this is the correct answer
Option C) Seems to have become – is an incorrect answer because ‘seems to have become’ is a grammatically correct short sentence. Thus, we will consider this as an incorrect answer.
Option D) All rage – this is an incorrect answer because ‘all rage’ is the correct sentence. Here, all rage is used grammatically corrected. Thus, this does not contain any incorrect part of the sentence and this is an incorrect answer.

Hence, the correct answer is option ‘B’.

Note: In such types of questions where we have to identify the incorrect part of the sentence, for this some rules should be known very well. Here in the sentence, "extreme sport" needs to refer to all the various extreme sports. Since 'sport' is singular and does not convey the required meaning and thus B is the incorrect part of the sentence.
