Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The correct answer is the first option.

"Sister-in-laws" should be replaced with "sisters-in-law". Sisters-in-law is the correct plural form when referring to sisters of the spouse. Sister-in-law is a compound noun and we pluralise the compound nouns by adding 's' or 'es' to the principal noun.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "My sisters-in-law who live in Kolkata have come to stay with us."
