The error lies in the I part of the sentence. Whom should be replaced with who.

'Whom' should be used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition. ‘Who’ should be used to refer to the subject of a sentence. Here, the subject is James Fowler, hence we must use who after his name.

Hence the correct answer is option 3.

Correct sentence:

James Fowler, who was an American theologian, felt that our understanding and practice of faith and spirituality proceeds through a series of stages that extend throughout the lifetime.
