Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The sentence can be improved using the first option.

Since help is a causative verb the infinitive to is generally not used before the main verb. Thus, "helps to improve" should be replaced with helps improve to make it grammatically accurate.

The correct sentence is: "It is a myth that drinking within limits helps improve health."
