ABeside the bank, we also visit the mall.
BBeside the bank, we also visited the mall.
CBesides the bank, we also visited the mall.
DBesides of the bank, we also visited the mall.
Explanation
‘Besides’ means ‘in addition to’ or ‘apart from,’ while ‘beside’ means ‘next to’ in a physical, spatial sense. Since this sentence describes an additional place visited, rather than physical location next to the bank, ‘besides’ is the correct word, making ‘Besides the bank, we also visited the mall’ the grammatically correct choice.
