अचूक उत्तर: पर्याय (2)
The correct answer is **do not like** (Option 2).
**Comprehensive Derivation:**
The correct answer is "do not like".
Explanation & Key Takeaways:
• In English grammar, when we use the conjunction "and" to join two singular subjects (in this case, Mamatha and Kavitha), they are considered a plural subject.
• Therefore, "do not like," is the correct choice because 'Mamatha and Kavitha' stands as a plural subject, suggesting using 'do' instead of 'does'.
• Also, 'like' is an infinitive used after 'do'.
Therefore, the correct answer is "Option 2".

• **Option 1 (do not likes)**: Incorrect distractor.
