Correct Answer: got permission


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

The original sentence contains an unnecessary article "a" before "permission " . In English, when referring to the concept of permission, the noun "permission" is typically used without an article, as it is not a countable noun.

So, the correct sentence is: After a prolonged discussion, Gayatri got permission from her parents to study law.
