Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The third option is the correct choice.
"It is no good to cry'' should be replaced with ''it is no good crying'' indicating the idea that crying over past failures is not beneficial.
''No good'' is usually followed by the gerund form of the verb.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "It is no good crying over past failures."
