Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The correct answer is the third option.

"Contradicted against" should be replaced with "contradicted".

The use of "against" with "contradict" is incorrect and redundant. The options "contradict with" and "contradict over" don't make any sense and are incorrect. There is an error in the use of the preposition in the sentence.

Therefore, the correct statement should be: "I contradicted him."
