Please someone help me fix this problem. How do  I make the image more smoother?

Well, from the video you posted it looks to me that optical flow is making a mess of the action of the hand with the brush.

If it were me, I'd easily choose some slight frame stepping over what looks like a gloppy mess of video - but it's up to you.

Test the other two options - Frame Sampling and Frame Blending and see if you get better results.

As Meg said, to get slow motion, you would shoot in a higher frame rate (ex: 59.94) and then slow that down to 40% speed (for example) in a 23.976 fps timeline.

If you shoot something at 23.976 fps and then put it on a 23.976 timeline, and then try to slow it down, there aren't any extra frames to work with so it will be choppy. Optical flow looks at the frames and tries to generate completely new frames in-between. It works best when your footage was filmed with a high shutter speed for very clear frames without blur but even then it can be hit or miss depending on the shot. Most people just film at a higher fps when they want slowmo as this is not interpretive but is based on frames actually captured during filming.
