Correct Answer: his son-in-laws


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The segment that contains a grammatical error is: "His son-in-laws".
The correct form is sons-in-law . The plural of son-in-law is sons-in-law , as the principal noun should be pluralised in case of compound nouns.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "His sons-in-law have enhanced his business within a short period."
