2). Alia had two bodyguard and each and every bodyguard was equal to five men.
3). Alia has two bodyguards and each bodyguard is equal to five men.
4). Alia is having two bodyguards and each bodyguard is equalling to five men.
Correct option - 3
Firstly, 'two' shows it is a plural noun. Hence, it should be bodyguards. Thus, option 2 is eliminated. Looking at, it is unnecessary to use 'each and every', since both give the same meaning. Hence, options 1 is eliminated. Now, 'has' is used as a possession, so it acts as a main verb, i.e., it doesn't need had. Hence, option 5 is eliminated. When possession is being described in the sentence. Then, it takes simple tense. So, option 4 is eliminated. Thus, option 3 is the correct answer.
