Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. the UK at January 2001.

  • The UK at January 2001 is the incorrect statement.
  • The usage of the word at is wrong.
  • To refer to an activity taking place in a specific month, we generally use the preposition "in". 
  • Hence, the correct sentence is: Dr. Stone returned to the UK in January 2001 to begin data analysis.
