Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The second option is the correct answer.
Unless is a conjunction that means except if or if not. In the context of the sentence, it conveys the idea that you will not be able to pass unless you study.
Provided means "only if" which doesn't convey the same meaning as the original sentence.
Less is not grammatically correct and does not make sense in the context of the sentence.
So, the sentence should be: "You cannot pass unless you study."
