अचूक उत्तर: पर्याय (4) (c) only
'Enough' सह विशेषण शब्दसमूहाचे स्थान (Position of Adjective Phrase with 'Enough'):
1.
'Enough' हा शब्द विशेषणाच्या नंतर येतो (उदा. 'brave enough').
2.
जेव्हा एखाद्या विशेषणासोबत पूरक घटक (Infinitive complement: 'brave enough to attempt the course') येतो, तेव्हा संपूर्ण विशेषण शब्दसमूह हा नामाच्या नंतर (Post-modifier म्हणून) येतो.
3.
त्यामुळे "Students brave enough to attempt the course deserve to pass." हे विधान व्याकरणाच्या नियमांनुसार पूर्णपणे अचूक आहे.
4.
विधाने (a) आणि (b) मध्ये विशेषण शब्दसमूह नामाच्या आधी ठेवल्यामुळे वाक्यरचना सदोष झाली आहे.
त्यामुळे केवळ विधान (c) बरोबर आहे.

📌 MPSC परीक्षा टीप: Post-modification Rule:
जेव्हा विशेषणासोबत Infinitive Phrase (to + V1) जोडलेली असते, तेव्हा ते नामाच्या आधी न येता नेहमी नामाच्या नंतर येते (उदा. Men brave enough to fight, NOT Brave enough men to fight).

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option (4) (c) only
Position of Complex Adjective Phrases with 'Enough':
1.
The adverb 'enough' always post-modifies the adjective it qualifies (brave enough).
2.
When an adjective phrase is completed by an infinitive clause (*brave enough to attempt the course*), the entire complex adjective phrase must function as a post-modifier placed after the noun.
3.
Therefore, sentence (c): "Students brave enough to attempt the course deserve to pass." is syntactically accurate.
4.
In sentences (a) and (b), placing this heavy modifier before the noun violates English syntax.
Hence, only (c) is correct.
