Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The third option is the correct answer.
In spite of the original sentence "My interest in Physics has decreased" being grammatically correct, "has diminished" is a more suitable phrase to express a decrease in interest.
"Has been decreased" changes the sentence structure and is not a common way to express a decrease in interest. "Has shortened" does not convey the same as "shortened" typically refers to making something shorter in length and does not effectively convey the appropriate intended meaning.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: My interest in physics has diminished.
