Answer 1

The correct answer is: Radha often goes to Nagpur.

Key Points

The adverb of frequency shows how frequently an action takes place.
Often is an adverb meaning 'many times on different occasions'.
The adverb "often" is commonly used with the simple present tense.
It is used in the front position, in the mid position between the subject and the main verb, after the modal verb or first auxiliary verb, or after being as a main verb or in the end position.
- For example- I often see Christine when I'm in town.
The implied meaning of the sentence is: Radha frequently visits Nagpur.
So, it is clear that 'often' implies an action that happens frequently but it is not regular.
Therefore, "often" should be used in the sentence.

Hence, the correct sentence with the appropriate use of the adverb of frequency is written in option 3.
