Equation of line is \mathrm{y+4=m(x-4), as \: m>0}

\mathrm{ \therefore \quad \mathrm{mx}-\mathrm{y}=4 \mathrm{~m}+4 }

\mathrm{ \frac{x}{\frac{4 m+4}{m}}+\frac{y}{-(4 m+4)}=1 }

\mathrm{\therefore \quad O A+O B=\frac{4 m+4}{m}+4 m+4 }

\mathrm{ =4 m+\frac{4}{m}+8 \geq 16 }

Hence option 2 is correct.
