The correct answer 'often come here'.

Key Points

  • The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
  • Here, 'often come here' should be used instead of 'often coming here'.
  • Often is an adverb meaning ‘many times on different occasions (कई बार अलग-अलग मौकों पर)’. 
    • Example: I often see Christine when I’m in town. 
  • The adverb 'often' shows a regular action.
  • In this kind of case after the adverb, the base form of the verb is used.
  • Thus, the correct answer is Option 4.
     

Correct Sentence: Suman and his friend often come here to read books.
