Choose the correct option to fill in the blank in the given sentence:

Economist Deena Khatkhate, who________at the age of 92 on September 15 in Bethesda Maryland, in the US, was an unusual man.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

A specific past date ('on September 15') requires the simple past tense: 'who passed away at the age of 92'. The present perfect 'has passed away' cannot be used with a definite past time, and the future forms are illogical.
