Solution : There's an error in the third option.

"Affect" is an action (verb) whereas an effect is a result (noun).
The verb "affect" accurately describes the impact of the fire on the families, signifying a change in their lives.
The correct sentence should be: "The fire in the apartment building affected over 20 families."
