    Solution

    The use of "into" in part 3 is grammatically and contextually incorrect. The preposition "into" is incorrect because it implies movement or direction toward something, which does not fit the context of leadership or authority. In contrast, the preposition "under" is used to indicate hierarchy, authority, or supervision, which is appropriate here because the committee is operating under the leadership of Justice MB Shah. Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
