Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 3 - Comes from the consumption of the mothers milk.
The error lies in part 3 of the statement.
- When we want to indicate that something belongs to someone, we use the possessive form of nouns.
- Here, "milk" is being described as belonging to the "mother." Therefore, it should be written as "mother's milk."
- So we need to use "mother's milk" in place of "mothers milk".
The correct sentence will be-
The only thing that endures and can sustain an infant till the stage it receives immunity comes from the consumption of the mother's milk.
