    Explanation:

    - Option 1: nearly 3.5 billion years ago

    - This phrase is correctly used to indicate a time period in the past.

    - Option 2: life begins

    - This is where the grammatical error lies. The verb "begins" is present tense but should be in past tense to match the past time period mentioned. It should be "began."

    - Option 3: In the primitive

    - This segment introduces the setting and is grammatically correct by itself.

    - Option 4: oceans

    - This part is simply a continuation of the subject and is grammatically correct.

    - Correct Answer: Option 2, life begins
