Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The first option is correct as the sentence should be in the present perfect tense since the doctor has given the suggestion to the patient to take a proper diet.

Moreover, advice is a noun form and should be replaced by advised i.e., verb form. Also, the second and third options indicate that the doctor got the advice which changes the meaning of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence is "The doctor has advised him to take a proper diet."
