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.
