- b) deafness in one ear
- c) deafness of one ear

correct answer : b)
Explanation:
The correct preposition to use with deafness in this context is “in” (i.e., “deafness in one ear”). Therefore, “deafness at one ear” should be replaced with “deafness in one ear”.
इस संदर्भ में बहरेपन (deafness) के साथ उपयोग किया जाने वाला सही प्रीपोजिशन “in” है (यानी “deafness in one ear”)। इसलिए, “deafness at one ear” के स्थान पर “deafness in one ear” का उपयोग किया जाना चाहिए।
