Correct Answer: finish the marathon in record time


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The underlined segment in the sentence contains an error. The correct preposition to be used in place of "on" is "in". 

"In record time" means completing something in the shortest or fastest time.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Despite having a broken leg, Sarah managed to finish the marathon in record time."
