Correct Answer: attack we have ever seen."


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .

Explanation : The original sentence contains a grammatical error in the segment "attack we have ever seen". The noun "attack" should be in the plural form "attacks" because it's being used with "one of the", which implies it's one item out of a group.

Therefore, the corrected sentence would be: The police released a statement saying, "This was one of the most vicious attacks we have ever seen."
