The given sentence mentions two boys Aman and Hardik who have been chosen to represent the school in athletics. Option B) and C) are incorrect because they do not form form a complete sentence. Option D) is incorrect because it mentions 'the boy' whereas the sentence has two boys.

‘Murmur’ is a low continuous background noise that is generally used to describe the way someone speaks, i.e. a softly spoken or almost inaudible utterance. Similarly ‘mutter’ and ‘mumble’ mean to say something in a low or inaudible voice. All the three words are commonly associated with the way people speak. Therefore ‘murmur’, ‘mutter’ and ‘mumble’ cannot be associated with a clock; hence options A, B and D are incorrect. On the other hand, ‘chime’ means a melodious ringing sound that is produced when a bell or metal bar is struck. Since the clock has a metal bar that chimes at the stroke of each hour ‘chime’ is the apt answer. Therefore option C is correct.

The collective noun for tools is 'set' or 'kit'.  Hence option B is the correct answer. 

‘Crack’ is the sound that is commonly associated with ‘a whip’. ‘A whip’ produces a sharp sound that can be described as slicing through the air while it is lashed. ‘Crack’ fits this description perfectly since it is a sudden sharp or explosive sound.  Hence option A is correct. On the other hand, ‘blast’ is a single loud note of a horn, whistle or siren, which cannot be linked to a whip, since a whip produces a sharp and not a loud sound. Hence option B is incorrect. Similarly ‘beat’ and ‘crackle’ cannot be used since both denote a continuous or repeated sound. ‘Beat’ is to hit a surface to produce repeated loud rhythm. Whereas ‘crackle’ is a sound made up of a rapid succession of short sharp noises, like “the crackle of the fire”. ‘A whip’ doesn’t produce continuous or repeated sounds when it is flung; therefore options C and D are incorrect. 

Fish is a countable noun and the plural form of fish is fish.
