Solution : The error lies in the third option .

Manfully is the correct adverb that should be used in place of manly to make the sentence grammatically accurate. Manfully means showing qualities such as strength and courage, which are often associated with men.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Although he was sincere and hard-working, he could not confront his boss manfully .
