Solution
In the English language, the normal order of words in a sentence is:
subject + verb + object. The subject is the performer of the action
(verb) and the object is the receiver of that action.
In the given sentence, the object "him" is placed before the verb "explain", whereas it should be placed after. Hence the sentence requires change and option A is incorrect.
Option C is correct as the sentence follows the normal word order: subject (you) + verb (explain) + object (him, not to gamble).
(In imperative sentences that express a request (please) or a command, the subject is usually not present, it's implied.)
Option B is incorrect because the words are not in the required order, they're in this order: object + verb.
Option D is incorrect because the words are not in order; the sentence is incoherent in meaning.
