Option 3 : 3

The correct answer is Option 3, i.e., 'have risen over the years'.

Part 3 has an error because it doesn't observe agreement of the verb with the subject.

The subject of the verb 'risen' is 'the cost'- a singular noun- and not 'commodities'.

Thus, the verb must agree with the singular subject and should be 'has risen' and not 'have risen'.

The correct sentence will be 'Owing to rising inflation, the cost of several commodities has risen over the years'.
