The correct answer is "Many a man". 

Key Points

  • The word 'Many man' is incorrect.
  • The phrase 'Many a man' means 'more than one man'.
  • The phrase 'Many a man' is used to refer to a number of men.
  • The plural form of man is 'men', but 'man' is used in this phrase because it is followed by a vowel.
  • Therefore, the correct answer is 'Many a man'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3". 

Additional Information

  • 'Many a men' is incorrect because 'men' is already plural.
  • 'No correction required' is incorrect because the sentence contains an error.
  • 'Much man' is incorrect because 'much' is an adjective that means 'a large quantity'.
