Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The correct answer is the third option, " which allowed them to sit for the exams".
It maintains the intended meaning that the college authority, i.e., the officials forming an organisation having power and control, permitted the students to take the exams and would be followed by the relative pronoun "which", as it refers to the official body . The use of "for the exams" correctly conveys the idea that the students were allowed to sit for the exams.
The correct sentence is: "The students met the college authority, which allowed them to sit for the exams. "
