Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
Explanation: The sentence requires consistency in verb tense between the two clauses connected by "and". The initial part of the sentence, "he lights his pipe", is in the present tense. Therefore, to maintain consistency, the verb in the second clause should also be in the present tense.
So, the correct sentence would be: "He lights his pipe, and on many evenings he helps me with the dishes."
