Correct Answer: by time
Solution : The error lies in the third option .
"By time" implies that evacuation was done according to a schedule or deadline, which may not be the intended meaning. "In time" indicates that the evacuation was done with enough time to spare before a particular event or deadline, which fits the context of ensuring people's safety before a disaster strikes.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: The people living in coastal areas were evacuated in time.
