The solution is Option 3: 3.

The error is in part 3 of the sentence. The plural form of the words- 'person' and 'thing'- is used when the singular form would have been more correct. We know that 'each and every' takes singular nouns and not, plural nouns. 

The correct sentence is: A superlative adjective is a form of an adjective used to compare one person or one thing with each and every person or thing in a particular group.
