B Correct answer
Explanation

Statement II reads 'Today they are going to the aquarium.' The article 'the' should be replaced with 'an' because when Manish and Jimmy were in Bangalore for only a day, they would visit a specific aquarium for the first time (indefinite reference). Option B identifies this error correctly.
