All the option is greyed-out on Right-click, and delete-option is not there.

You won't be about to in your current config. Your disk is set up as an MBR so you can only have 4 primary partitions or in your case 3 primary and an extended with logical partitions. It is possible to install Linux on logical partitions, but I don't recall if the installer with do it automatically.

Perhaps this is a damaged disk partition. You need partition repair. If the disk is intact, then you can format this partition and it will become available.

It's not damaged it's by design and limitations of MBR disks

Click the unallocated space and click Create Partition from Partition Management in the left pane. Or choose Create from the context menu. Step 2: Specify the partition size, location, file system, drive letter and more. Click OK to go back to the main interface
