Explanation:

- The research fellow defended: This is the beginning of the sentence. It introduces the subject, "the research fellow," and the action, "defended." There is no grammatical error here.

- his thesis scholarly: "Scholarly" appears to be used incorrectly as an adverb here. The intended meaning might be to describe how the thesis was defended. The correct form should be "his thesis in a scholarly manner" or "scholarly thesis defense."

- and obtained the degree: This part is grammatically correct. It follows the defending of the thesis, showing a sequential action. No error is present.

- No error: This option suggests that there are no grammatical issues in the sentence. However, as noted, there is an error in the adverb usage.

The correct answer is:

- Option:2, his thesis scholarly
