Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
The reason for the error is the use of "by foot" instead of "on foot". When one refers to walking as a means of transportation, we use the phrase "on foot", not "by foot". So, it should be "on foot" to correctly convey the idea that your father walks everywhere.
So, the correct sentence should be: "My father, though old, goes everywhere on foot."
