Option 4 : and humble also

The erroneous part is 'and humble also'

The given sentence is an example of correlative conjunction since it has not only in the first clause.
Correlative conjunctions are a pair of words that connect similar entities(nouns, adjectives, etc) in the sentence together.
It is used to put emphasis on certain elements.
Common examples of correlative conjunctions include either or, neither nor, not only but also, both and.

Hence the correct sentence is: Mr. Roy was not only very successful but also humble.

Correlative conjunction is also known to maintain the grammatical balance in a sentence.
it can only connect two similar entities together. Like if the first clause of the sentence had a noun then it will be connected to another noun in the second clause of the sentence.
- Example: Both India and China have huge populations. (nouns)

Confusion Points

It is really easy to get confused about which conjunction to use in a particular sentence.
If the first clause of the statement is similar to the second clause then we can use coordinating conjunction like and.
- Example: He was handsome and talented as well.
If the first clause of the statement is in stark contrast to the second clause of the statement then we use but.
- Example: He was talented but lacked discipline.
There is no need to use commas in case two nouns are connected through conjunction but in other sentences a comma is necessary.
- Example: The restaurant owner not only offered us a free lunch, but he also gave us a complimentary beverage.
