Correct Answer: has powerful effects


Solution : The error lies in the first option.

The error lies in the verb "has", which is incorrect. The correct form is "have" to match the plural subject "black holes". As per the subject-verb agreement, a plural subject should always be followed by a plural form of the verb.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Black holes can have powerful effects on their surroundings."
