Correct Answer: In a big city like Mumbai, we see a lot of rubbish being thrown from households and factories.


Solution : The third option is correct.

The use of (a) before big city and a lot is correct, as the indefinite article is used to refer to a non-specific big city and a non-specific quantity of rubbish.

Therefore, the correct answer is, "In a big city like Mumbai, we see a lot of rubbish being thrown from households and factories".
