Solution : The error lies in the second option .
The infinitive form of the verb "to cure" is not correct, and it should be replaced with the noun form "cure" to make the sentence grammatically accurate as per the law of parallelism.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "As the experience of many countries has shown, prevention is better than cure."
