Correct Answer: he don't like


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation : The error is in the use of the form of the verb "do" with the third-person singular pronoun "he". When forming negative statements in the present simple tense for third-person singular subjects (he, she, it), we use "does not" (doesn't) instead of "do not" (don't).

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "He told me that he doesn't like people who are not genuinely interested in helping others."
