Correct Answer: the students to solve


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The sentence uses the incorrect verb form. The infinitive form "to solve" should be replaced with the base form, i.e., "solve" to make the sentence grammatically accurate and convey the intended meaning of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The instructor made the students solve the problem within five minutes."
