Answer: C. 3

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3. Key Points: The usage of 'inspite of' is incorrect here. The correct phrasal conjunction that should be used is 'in spite of' where 'in' and 'spite' are separate words. However, we may also replace 'inspite of' with 'despite' to make the sentence correct.
