Correct Answer: on selling of


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

In the given sentence, the phrase "on selling of" is incorrect. The correct usage should involve the noun form "sale" rather than the gerund "selling". Also, "of" is used to indicate possession or connection, typically with nouns, not gerunds.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "There was enough evidence to convict him on the sale of fake medicines."
