    Explanation:

    The correct answer is option 1 i.e. remain now.

    Explanation

    'Remain now' is incorrect as 'remain' is plural. It has to be replaced with 'remains' which is a singular form of the verb. The subject of the sentence is singular- one copy of the book. Since the subject is singular, the verb has to be singular too, according to the Subject-Verb Agreement rule. If the subject is plural, then the verb should also be plural.
    Correct sentence: Only one copy of the book, running into 1200 pages, on Gandhiji's visit to the State of Andhra Pradesh, remains now.
