Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The correct option is the third option .
In the original sentence, the verb "decide" is in the present tense, which is not suitable in this context. To correct it, we should use the present perfect tense to show that the decision was made in the recent past. Hence, the right choice is "have decided" .
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "People ask me why I have decided to start a new magazine."
