But 'throng' takes a direct object, so it is correct; the error is 'favourite star' without 'the'.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'favourite star perform' सहज प्रतीत होता है, अतः determiner का अभाव दिखाई नहीं देता। परंतु singular countable noun के साथ 'the' अथवा possessive आवश्यक है।'favourite star perform' reads like news style, so the missing determiner slips by.

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (C) favourite star perform.
Favourite star एक singular countable noun phrase है, जिसके पहले कोई determiner (निर्धारक) नहीं है।
Concept: singular countable noun never stands alone; उसके साथ a / the या possessive आना चाहिए।
✓
The spectators thronged the stadium to watch their favourite star perform.
'No error' भ्रामक है, क्योंकि शेष भाग सही है, परंतु 'their' के अभाव से (c) गलत हो जाता है।
सरल अर्थ: दर्शक अपने पसंदीदा सितारे को प्रदर्शन करते देखने के लिए स्टेडियम में उमड़ पड़े।
Favourite star is a singular countable noun phrase with no determiner before it.
Concept: A singular countable noun never stands alone; it needs a / the / a possessive.
✓
The spectators thronged the stadium to watch their favourite star perform.
'No error' is tempting because the rest is fine, but the missing 'their' makes (c) wrong.
