Answer: Option C

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The question tests your understanding of the grammatical structure following "It is no use".
"It is no use" is a common idiom meaning "it is pointless" or "it is futile".
It is always followed by a gerund (a verb ending in -ing that acts as a noun).
Let's examine each option:
Option A: to try - This is an infinitive, not a gerund. Infinitives have the form "to + verb".
Option B: try - This is the base form of the verb and is incorrect in this context.
Option C: trying - This is the correct answer. "Trying" is the gerund form of the verb "to try". It correctly fits the grammatical structure "It is no use + gerund".
Option D: tried - This is the past participle form of the verb and doesn't fit the grammatical pattern required after "It is no use".
Therefore, the grammatically correct sentence is: "It is no use trying again."
