Correct Answer: nor does she smile.
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Explanation: The original sentence has a coordination error due to the incorrect structure of the negative construction.
The correct form should follow the "neither/nor + auxiliary/modal verb + subject" pattern. Therefore, "nor does she smile" adheres to this structure, presenting the negative form correctly with does before the subject "she", as per the law of inversion.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Shyama does not laugh, nor does she smile."
