Correct Answer: the biggest landslide in history.


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

The sentence contains the phrase "one of", which should always be followed by a plural noun and a singular verb. Hence, "landslide" should be changed to its plural form, "landslides", to make the sentence grammatically accurate.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The presidential election turned out to be one of the biggest landslides in history .
