(c) Dear sir (d) None of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

dear sir is most suitable salutation for this letter.

Answer 2

The question is answered below-

1. The most suitable salutation for the letter is option c, that is dear sir.

2. A letter to the editor implies a formal letter that requires the writer to implement formal texts and official ways of explaining the motive of the letter. Unnecessary and unrequired texts that are informal and are not relatable to the content shall be avoided. In this case, addressing the editor as 'dear sir' is appropriate and formal.

3. Other mentioned options have a tone of informality and hence are not a suitable way of salutation for an official letter. Usage of informal language creates an unprofessional image.
