Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The correct answer is the third option.

There is an error in the use of the proper preposition in the sentence.

"For" suggests that he is known for a specific reason or accomplishment, which is not the intended meaning. "Among" suggests that he is known within a group of people, but does not convey the intended meaning of being generally known by others.

Therefore, the correct statement should be: "He is known to others."
