Correct Answer: Many a time


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

The original phrase much times is grammatically incorrect. The correct and idiomatic expression is many a time when referring to numerous instances or occasions. It conveys the idea that the speaker has felt this way on multiple occasions. Many a time is the appropriate phrase because time is a noun that can be counted. Much is used when referring to a large quantity of something that cannot be easily counted individually.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Many a time, I have felt that conversations like these must take place in person."
