The correct answer is "there is a number".
 Key Points
  • The error in the sentence is in the part "there is a number."
  • When referring to a plural noun ("number of medications and therapies"), a plural verb "are" should be used instead of a singular verb "is".
  • Therefore, the correct answer is 'option 1'.
 Additional Information
  • According to the “Subject-Verb Agreement Rule”, a singular subject always takes a singular verb and a plural subject always takes a plural verb
