A Correct answer
Explanation

(1) is incorrect. The conjunction ‘as’ is used to indicate something that happens in spite of a stated fact. This is incorrect in this context. ‘If’ is the correct word in this context, which indicates a condition or qualification. ‘If’ is the condition of failing to pay the installment.
