Correct Answer:

(B) only

Explanation:

Here's the corrected sentence: Majority of people prefer to exercise early in the morning for a better start of the day.

The correction is to change "prefers" to "prefer" to match the subject "Majority of people," which is plural. The correct subject-verb agreement is "Majority of people prefer to exercise." This makes the sentence grammatically correct. Therefore, the incorrect part of the sentence is (B) only.
