This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

(3)

The task is to find the single numbered part of the sentence that contains a spelling mistake, checking each part in turn.

Part (1) is 'The phenomenon of pareidolia'; 'phenomenon' and 'pareidolia' are both spelt correctly.

Part (2) is 'is often discussed in relation to human cognition'; every word there, including 'cognition', is correctly spelt.

Part (4) is 'in neuroscience literature'; 'neuroscience' and 'literature' are both correct.

Part (3) is 'and perceptual baises'; the word 'baises' is a misspelling of 'biases', where the correct order of vowels is 'i' before 'a' (b-i-a-s-e-s).

Since the error of transposed vowels lies only in 'baises', the faulty part must be (3).

Hence the part with the spelling error is (3)
