Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The second option is the correct choice.
Explanation : "But" should be replaced with "and", as there is an error in the use of conjunction. "But" is used to indicate two contrasting things, which is not the case when referring to sweet and caring in the context of the sentence. Thus, "and" should be used.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "One minute they're all sweet and caring, and the next minute they stab you in the back ."
