Correct Answer: that possesses a range


Solution : The part containing the error is in the second option.

Explanation : The error lies in the verb form possesses, which is incorrect in this context. The correct form should be that possess a range, because the relative pronoun that refers to the plural noun herbs. This correction ensures proper subject-verb agreement, where a plural subject takes a plural verb.

So, the correct sentence would be: There are some Indian herbs that possess a range of important therapeutic properties.
