Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Explanation:
The original sentence has a word order issue. It's not clear whether the "1200 sq feet carpet area" is for the "flat" or for "his son". The correct word order should be subject + verb + object in the main clause followed by the subordinate clause. The intended meaning is that he is looking for a flat for his son that has a carpet area of 1200 sq feet.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: He is looking for a flat of 1200 sq feet carpet area for his son.
