Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Old habits die hard.
We need to use the plural form of 'habit' i.e. habits.
'Hardly' is an adverb that means scarcely (used to qualify a statement by saying that it is true to an insignificant degree).
'Hard' means with a great deal of effort. The most appropriate word is 'hard'.
Correct sentence- Old habits die hard.
