Billy the Kid was one/ of the most famous outlaw/ of America's early history.

The correct answer is 'of the most famous outlaw'.

Key Points

• The error lies in Part (2) of the sentence.
• The 'one of' is a singular term and generally used to talk about a noun or a pronoun.
• The noun or a pronoun used after the phrase “one of” is always in the plural form ( as we are talking of one person/place/thing out of many)
  • Example - This is one of the most robust findings in social science, and also one of the most ignored.
• Thus, the noun 'outlaw' must be in the plural form i.e., 'outlaws'.
• Correct sentence: Billy the Kid was one of the most famous outlaws of America's early history.

Hence, the correct answer is option (3).
