Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
'Resemble' is a transitive verb that takes a direct object without a preposition: 'He closely resembles his father.' Adding 'with' makes sentence 2 ungrammatical ('on facial features' is also unidiomatic; 'in facial features' would be preferred). The other sentences are grammatically correct.
