Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The third option is the correct answer.

"Go on strike" is a common expression used when workers or employees refuse to work as a form of protest or to demand certain rights or better working conditions. It's a fixed phrase in English and doesn't require the article "a".

Therefore, the correct sentence is: When the workers threatened to go on strike, the mill owner declared a layoff on his mill.
