Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
The preposition "to" is needed after "answers" to correctly convey the idea that there are many answers related to the topic. The preposition "about" doesn't convey the intended meaning of the sentence. In this context, the preposition "to" is used to show the relationship between the noun "answers" and the rest of the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: According to scientists, there are a lot of answers to it.
