Answer :
This question is based on punctuation.
Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'punctuation' as 'special marks that are placed in a text to show the divisions between phrases and sentences, or the use of these marks.'
The given sentences contain an error relating to the use of hyphen.
Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'hyphen' as 'the mark (-) used in writing to join two words together, or between the syllables of a word when it is divided at the end of a line of text.'
The following sentences is correctly punctuated :
C : The three-year-old was playing loudly with his friends.
This sentence is correct as it makes the correct use of hyphens. It also does not use the numeric form of three.
