Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

The original sentence contains a prepositional error. To indicate that someone is free from a certain obligation (paying the application fee in this case), we use the preposition "from" after "exempted".

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Women candidates are exempted from paying the application fee.
