Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

There is an error in the use of the preposition after the verb "succumbed", as it should be followed by the preposition "to" instead of "from". Moreover, the present perfect tense "have succumbed" should be used due to the adverb "recently".

So, the correct sentence would be: According to one survey, only those forests which were not under village management have succumbed to fires recently.
