The correct answer is option 4.

Key Points

To answer this question, let’s first understand the meaning of the word given in the question:
Slip: to move or cause to move smoothly and quickly; to make a mistake or error; a small, often unnoticed move or action. (फिसलना, ग़लती)
Now, let’s examine the given sentences:
Sentence A: He had to carefully slip the paperwork into the envelope without anyone noticing.
- This sentence correctly uses the word "slip" to describe a small, unnoticed move or action.
Sentence B: The baby played with the slip, smiling at her reflection.
- This sentence does not correctly use the word "slip" accurately in context.
Sentence C: Due to a slip in communication, they arrived at different locations.
- This sentence correctly uses the word "slip" to describe a mistake or error.
So, both sentences A and C correctly use the word "slip" in different contexts.

Therefore, the correct answer is "Both A & C."
