Explanation
Idiomatic Usage: In English, the standard expression is "to have difficulty (in) doing something".
Verb Choice: We generally use the verb "have" with difficulty to describe a state or a persistent issue. While "get" can be used in some contexts, "have" is the most grammatically sound choice for this sentence structure.
Preposition Choice: The noun "difficulty" is commonly followed by the preposition "in" when followed by a gerund (verb + ing).
Option (c) is incorrect because "on" is not used with difficulty in this context.
Grammatical Structure:
Option (b) is incorrect due to the use of "get" and a spelling error in "difficulty".
Option (d) is incorrect because the continuous form "am getting" and the lack of a preposition make the sentence sound unnatural in this formal context.
Structural Formula:
The correct grammatical pattern can be represented as:
Subject+have/has+difficulty+(in)+Verb-ing
