Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.

An appropriate preposition should be used after the adjective "injurious". The correct preposition to use is "to," so the correct phrase is "very injurious to health." In English, the adjective "injurious" requires the preposition "to" to connect it with the noun it affects.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Smoking is undoubtedly very injurious to health."
