The correct answer is Option (2) - besides
- The sentence would read: "Besides being fined, he was sentenced to a term of imprisonment."
- "Besides" means in addition to or apart from, which fits the context of adding information about the consequences he faced.
OTHER OPTIONS
- "beside" → Means next to or at the side of, which does not fit here.
- "against" → Suggests opposition, which is not relevant in this context.
- "on" → Does not appropriately convey the meaning needed for the sentence.
