Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The correct choice is the third option because are should be replaced with can to convey the intended meaning that certain bacteria have the ability to survive within nuclear power stations. Can is used to express the ability.
Are survive in the original sentence is grammatically wrong, and hence, incorrect. The other auxiliary verbs have and were do not fit in grammatically with the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "There are some bacteria that can survive inside nuclear power stations".
