Answer 1

The correct answer is celebrated across the country.Key Points

“Between” is used as a preposition when there are two things.
- Example: The chocolate should be divided between two brothers equally.
“Across” means from one side to another side.
- Example: There is a wooden bridge across the river.
Therefore, “celebrated between the country” should be substituted with “celebrated across the country”.
The correct sentence should be, Holi is a festival of revelry and camaraderie which is celebrated across the country.
The rest of the options are incorrect; especially, options two and three are grammatically incorrect.
