Explanation:

Correct option is 1: unlike

Corrected Sentence:

The game of cricket is governed by strict laws, unlike other sports where there are merely rules.?

Explanation:

The original sentence aims to contrast cricket with other sports regarding the strictness of their governing principles. Using "unlike" effectively highlights this contrast, indicating that cricket operates under stringent "laws," whereas other sports are governed by comparatively flexible "rules." This distinction is supported by the fact that cricket's regulations are formally termed "Laws of Cricket," emphasizing their rigidity and formality.

Therefore, option 2, "unlike," is the most suitable choice to convey the intended contrast in the sentence.
