The correct answer is 'No'.
 
Key Points
  • The blank needs to be filled with a word that indicates the negation of the subject "living being."
  • The correct word to use here is "no," as it appropriately negates the subject in a grammatically correct manner.
  • The phrase "no living being" correctly implies that zero living beings can survive without water.
  • Thus, the correct option to fill in the blank is no.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.
 
Correct Sentence: "It is a proven fact that no living being can survive without water."
 
Additional Information
  • Option 1: "none" – This option is incorrect as "none" is not correctly used before the singular noun "living being."
  • Option 3: "any" – This option is incorrect as it does not negates the subject but instead implies potential.
  • Option 4: "neither" – This option is incorrect as "neither" is used to refer to two items, not a general noun like "living being."
