Correct Answer: It is nothing else than


Solution : The first option is correct.

Nothing else than should be replaced with nothing less than . The phrase nothing less than is used to emphasise how great or extreme something is.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: It is nothing less than sheer foolishness that you have decided to resign.
