Which description fits 'fallible'?

Incapable of making mistakes
Prone to errors or mistakes
Always producing accurate results
Having a perfect track record

The correct answer is: Prone to errors or mistakes

The term 'fallible' specifically refers to the capacity to make mistakes or have errors. When someone or something is described as fallible, it acknowledges that imperfections and the potential for error exist. This contrasts with notions of perfection or infallibility, which imply an inability to err. The other choices depict scenarios of accuracy and reliability, which do not align with the meaning of 'fallible.' In essence, 'fallible' highlights the human condition or any system's inherent vulnerabilities to mistakes.
