Solution : The correct choice is the third option .
Explanation:
- The original sentence contains a grammatical error. It uses "joking" as a present participle, but it should be "joked" to match the structure of the sentence.

Therefore, the corrected sentence is: Mihir teased and joked with Aastha until she started laughing.
