Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The correct choice is the third option .
Explanation : Deer is one of those irregular plurals in English where the same word is used for both singular and plural forms. There is no need to add an "s" to make it plural; it remains the same in both contexts. Therefore, it should be "a number of deer" in place of "a number of deers".
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "When I was passing through the forest, I happened to see a number of deer ."
