Explanation:

- Option 1: "Psychology did not develop into a science" - This part of the sentence is correct. Psychology indeed developed as a scientific field during the late 1800s.

- Option 2: "based of careful observation" - This is the part with the error. It should be "based on careful observation." "Based of" is incorrect; the correct preposition to use with "based" in this context is "on."

- Option 3: "and experimentation until the late 1800s." - This part is correct. It appropriately describes the time frame when psychology became more scientific.

- Option 4: "No error" - This statement is incorrect because there is an error in option 2.

The correct answer is Option 2.
