Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

"In spite of" is a phrase used to show that an action is happening despite a particular obstacle or condition, which is exactly what is being conveyed in the sentence.

The meanings of other options are as follows:

  • Despite does not follow the preposition "of".
  • Nevertheless is a word used to show contrast or opposition.
  • But for is a phrase used to indicate that something would not have happened if not for a particular condition or circumstance.

So, the correct sentence should be: He came in spite of his busy schedule.
