Correct Answer: you or my


Solution : The third option is the correct answer.

The use of "or" instead of "and" in the sentence is necessary to indicate a choice between two options: "you" or "my sister". The sentence implies that only one of these individuals can be involved in the crime, not both simultaneously. So, "or" is the appropriate conjunction to express this mutually exclusive relationship.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: Either you or my sister is involved in this crime.
