Correct Answer: The simple mistake which was committed by the boy haunted him for years.


Solution : The first option is correct.

Explanation:

  • The simple mistake: This part of the sentence is correct. "The" is used appropriately to indicate a specific mistake.​​​​​
  • Which was committed by the boy: The relative clause "which was committed by the boy" correctly modifies "the simple mistake". It provides additional information about the mistake.
  • Haunted him for years: The main clause "haunted her for years" is grammatically sound. It indicates the duration of the haunting.

Therefore, the correct answer is: The simple mistake which was committed by the boy haunted him for years.
