Answer 1

The error lies in part 1 of the sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.

Here, instead of later, we should use late. ‘During the late 19^th century’, ‘In the late 19^th century', 'By the late 19^th century' etc. are the correct ways in which we indicate the later part of the years 1801-1899.

Correct sentence - During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, forest preservation programmes were established in British India, the United States, and Europe.
