✅ Correct Option: 4

This question tests redundancy and possessive pronouns.

"Revert" already means to return to a previous state, so adding "back" is like saying "return back" — unnecessarily repetitive! Plus, "its" (possessive) shows ownership while "it's" means "it is."

Option 1 → Double trouble: redundant "back" plus wrong "it's" contraction.

Option 2 → Redundant "reverted back" and missing the possessive "its."

Option 3 → Fixes redundancy but still uses "it's" instead of possessive.

Option 4 → Perfect! Concise "reverted to" plus correct possessive "its."
