Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The third option is the correct answer.
The error is in the phrase "nutrient disorder to prevent". The issue is related to the passive voice. The phrase "to prevent" suggests an active role in preventing the nutrient disorder. However, in the passive voice, after the helping verb, the past participle form of the verb is used. So, we should replace "to prevent" with "that can be prevented".
Therefore, the correct sentence is: Iodine deficiency is an easy and inexpensive nutrient disorder that can be prevented.
