Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

Explanation : There is an error in the use of the preposition in the sentence. The preposition in should be replaced with on to indicate the date of birth of the speaker. When referring to a specific date, the preposition on is used to indicate a particular day.

The other prepositions are not suitable in this context, as they do not convey the intended meaning of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "I was born on 16 November in 1986."
