Correct Answer: undergraduate days were
Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.
The subject one is singular, and as per subject-verb agreement, when it is the subject of the sentence, the verb should also be singular. The correct verb form to agree with a singular subject is was instead of were.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "One of the major challenges he faced during his undergraduate days was the shortage of money."
