The error lies in the I part of the sentence. The adjective 'prevalent’ which means ‘widespread in a particular area or at a particular time’ should be replaced with the noun 'prevalence’ which means ‘widespread in a particular area or at a particular time.’ $

Correct sentence: Despite the prevalence of cohabitation, marriage ultimately remains the preferred alternative for most people during an early adulthood.$

Hence the correct answer is option 3.
