Correct Answer: only son, has had developed
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
It contains an unnecessary verb "has", which is not required and should be omitted to make the sentence grammatically accurate. The use of "has" is unnecessary as the phrase "has had developed" combines the present perfect and the past perfect tense.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Ashwatthama, Drona's only son, had developed a fondness for lavish living."
