Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The appropriate answer is the first option because 'who are living in communities' should be replaced with 'living in communities' as 'who are'  is redundant as per the correct sentence structure.

The second option 'living amongst the community' is inappropriate because amongst' is a preposition that makes the sentence grammatically incorrect and the third option 'living in midst of communities' is grammatically incorrect.

Therefore, the correct statement should be "Human beings are social animals, living in communities , regulated by social norms and laws"
