The error lies in part B of the sentence.
Hence, the answer is option 2.
When referring to directions (i.e. positions or locations), one must use prepositions. Prepositions are used to describe positions, locations or directions. Thus, the word ‘as’ before directions like ‘east’ and ‘west’ is incorrect.
Since the sentence is referring to travel between two locations, one must use the preposition ‘from’. $
The correct sentence is – ‘The river flowed $from $east to west and met the ocean’.
