This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

3

The relative pronoun that refers to the singular noun liquid. Verbs joined by and must be parallel and agree with this singular subject. Part (2) uses builds (correct singular), but part (3) uses the base form nourish; it should be nourishes. Hence the error lies in part (3).
