Correct Answer: even more than for myself,


Solution : The error lies in the third option .

Explanation :

In the given sentence, the error lies in the lack of parallel structure when making a comparison. For proper parallelism, the comparison should be consistent on both sides of the conjunction "than". Thus, the correct form should be "even more than for me".

Therefore, the correct sentence is: You care for him even more than for me, he cried bitterly.
