How can I correct a mistake on my DS-260 form for my EB-5 visa?

I submitted the DS-260 for my brother. For the "Have you ever been denied a US visa?" I answered "No". My brother later corrected me that he was indeed had been denied an F-1 visa some 20 years ago. How can I correct this? Will this affect his interview?

  You can ask to reopen the DS260 and correct it. Can lying affect the interview? Yes.

  You cannot correct it; disclose it at the interview.

  You can try to delete and redo the DS260, or your brother can bring up the correction at the start of the immigrant visa interview.
