Answer 1

Hint: Punctuation marks are added in a sentence to create spacing and regular signs. They help in indicating the beginning and end of a sentence.

Complete answer:
As given in the hint, punctuation marks help in creating our writing clearer and more understandable.
Let us look at the use of different punctuation marks-
The comma (,)- Commas are used to split or break up words in a sentence. Example- He lives in New Delhi, India.
The full stop (.)- Full stops are used to indicate the ending point of a sentence. Example- I live here.
Capitalization- It is important to write the first letter of a sentence in capital letters. Example- My mother cooks food for me.
In the given question- We can see that the first letter of the sentence, ‘anita’ is written in small letters. Also, there is no full stop to mark the end of the sentence, and no comma used to split the works ’10 and bajrang bali’. Hence, the correct sentence should be ‘Anita lives at 10, Bajrang Bali colony.’
Let’s examine the given options-
Option a- ‘Anita lives at 10 Bajrang bali colony.’ It is an incorrect option because there is no use of a comma to split the address.
Option b- ‘Anita lives at 10, bajrang bali colony.’ It is an incorrect option because proper nouns, ‘Bajrang Bali’ are written in small letters.
Option c- ‘Anita lives at 10, Bajrang bali colony.’ It is an incorrect option because the proper noun, ‘Bali’ is written in small letters.
Option d- ‘Anita lives at 10, Bajrang Bali colony.’ It is the correct option because we can see the use of proper punctuation marks.
The correct answer is Option ‘d’.

Note:
Keep in mind, the first letter of proper nouns is always written in capital letters. Also, the first letter of a common noun can be written in capital letters, if it is the first word of a sentence.
