Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The sentence contains an error in part three : "tea than coffee".

The word "than" should be replaced with "to" to make the sentence grammatically correct. " To " is an appropriate preposition for expressing preference.

The correct sentence is, "He stated that he prefers tea to coffee."
