Correct Answer: the world's leading string quartet.


Solution : The error lies in the second option.

The phrase "one of" should be followed by a plural noun to maintain the agreement in the sentence. Thus, string quartet should be replaced with string quartets to make the sentence grammatically accurate, as "one of" is followed by a plural noun but requires a singular verb to agree with the noun phrase.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The London-based Brodsky Quartet, meanwhile, is one of the world's leading string quartets .
