Correct Answer: stimulate brain cells to


Solution : The error lies in the third option.

The part of the given sentence that has an error is "stimulate". The correct form should be stimulates . The subject "consumption of alcohol" is singular, and it requires the verb to be in the singular form "stimulates" as per subject-verb agreement.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "In humans, consumption of alcohol stimulates brain cells to release mood-altering dopamine."
