Answer : 2. "Rajan has"
Explanation :

The correct sentence is:

Rajan has three brothers and three sisters.

Explanation: The verb "has" is the correct form to use with the pronoun "Rajan." The original sentence, "Rajan is having," is not grammatically incorrect but sounds less natural in this context. Using "has" makes the sentence sound more standard and common in English.
