Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.

Flowers is a plural noun, and thus begins must be replaced with the plural form of the verb begin to maintain the subject-verb agreement in the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Flowers that are just picked begin to rot in 15 seconds.
