The correct answer is- 'some parts of the world.'
Key Points

  • We know that a definite is used when we talk about a specific thing.
  • In the given sentence, we are talking about a specific world, that is the world in which we humans live.
  • So we should use a definite article (the) before the word 'world.'
  • And the preposition 'of' expresses the relationship of a part of something to its whole.
    • Example: Some parts of his body were injured.
  • Thus option 3 is the correct answer.
And the correct sentence is: Corona virus has not yet reached some parts of the world.
Additional Information
  • Both a definite or an indefinite article can be used with the word 'world,' it depends on which context it has been used.
    • If you are talking about a specific world, then u would use the world.
      • Example: If Humans don’t act quickly, the world will be irreparably damaged.
    • If you are talking about a place that is not specific or imaginary, then use a world.
      • Example: We could live in a perfect world if we all exhibited a love for each other.
