Correct Answer: sanitisers can left behind.


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

There is an error in the segment "sanitisers can left behind".

The error in the original sentence is related to the modal verb "can". The correct form should be "can leave behind" instead of "can left behind". The modal verb "can" is followed by the base form of the verb (in this case, leave), not the past participle ("left"), when expressing the ability or possibility to do something.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Soap removes traces of pesticides and heavy metals that hand sanitisers can leave behind."
