Among applied sciences, medicine is one which have given man some power over death.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct option that will substitute the underlined part of the given sentence is Option 1: "is one which has given."
The corrected sentence would be: "Among applied sciences, medicine is one which has given man some power over death."
In the original sentence, there is a subject-verb disagreement. "Medicine" is a singular noun, so the verb should also be singular, using "has" instead of "have." Additionally, the use of the present perfect tense ("has given") is more appropriate to convey the idea that medicine has provided mankind with power over death over time.
