Correct Answer: a earth.


Solution : The error lies in the third option.

The article usage before "earth" is incorrect in the sentence. The definite article "the" should replace "a" before earth in the sentence, as we are referring to a specific place or the planet on which we live.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The sun revolves around the earth.
