Correct Answer: things on common.


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .

The correct phrase is "in common" instead of "on common". "In common" is the correct idiomatic expression to indicate that multiple farmers share certain things. The preposition "in" is used to show a connection or similarity between the farmers and the three things they share. "In common" means shared or possessed by two or more people or things, and "on common" is not a correct phrase in this context.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "All of the farmers I interviewed shared three things in common."
