This is williamson synthesis.

 

Substitution is better for prrimary Z means A and Elimination tertiary or secondary Z means B.

\mathrm{k_e(B)>k_e(A)} will come.

Now, \mathrm{\mu = \frac{k_s}{k_e}}

A favours substitution and B favour elimination.
So, for A,  ks  will be greater  than ke.

then  \mathrm{\mu_A > \mu_B} will right.

Therefore, Option(3) is correct.
