Correct Answer: has worsened


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The original sentence has a subject-verb agreement error. The correct form is "has worsened" where "has" is the auxiliary verb for the third person singular subject "the cyclone," and "worsened" is the past participle of the verb. This correction ensures proper grammar and tense consistency.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: The cyclone has worsened the situation in Mumbai.
