    The majority of people wrong believed that there must be a son in every family.
    Solutions
    The question sentence is a general sentence; so it should be written in simple present tense. We also get a hint from the sentence as the later part is written in present tense. This makes the bracketed incorrect. Also, the use of adjective "wrong" is incorrect and should be replaced by adverb "wrongly". Option (B) is incorrect as "people" is already plural; so writing "peoples" is incorrect. Also, the verb form "believes" is incorrect as it is used for singular subjects. Option A is incorrect as the adverb "wrongly" should be placed before the verb "believe". So, option C is the correct answer.
