Correct Answer: statistics are his


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

There is an error in the part "statistics are his" of the given sentence. It is related to the subject-verb agreement. The word "statistics" is technically a plural noun, but when it refers to the academic field or subject, it is treated as a singular noun.

Here, the singular verb "is" agrees with the singular subject "statistics" in the context of it being a field of study rather than multiple individual pieces of data.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "David said that statistics is his favourite subject."
