The correct answer is: $\sim p \wedge(q \wedge r)$
$\begin{aligned} & \sim\{p \vee(q \rightarrow \sim r)\} \equiv \sim p \wedge \sim(q \rightarrow \sim r)[\because \sim(p \rightarrow q) \equiv p \wedge \sim q] \\ & \equiv \sim p \wedge(q \wedge \sim(\sim r)) \\ & \equiv \sim p \wedge(q \wedge r)\end{aligned}$
