Options

A. 1 He walks
B. 2 as if the earth
C. 3 belonged to him.
D. 4. No error

Answer

3

Explanation

belonged will replace belongs because - use of as if indicates an imaginary situation or a situation that may not be true but that is likely or possible. The verb after as if is always in the Past Subjunctive as in He looks as if he knew the answer. She walks as if she were a supermodel. (were is used for all Personal Pronouns) Hence, belonged to him is the right usage
