I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option 3. The sentence that is the most paradoxical is that "He was old enough to understand the innocence of children." A paradoxical sentence is a sentence that contains self-contradictory words. In this case, the rods old enough and innocence seems to contradict each other.
