In standard form, the condition for a pair of straight lines is

\mathrm{ a b c+2 f g h-a f^2-b g^2-c h^2=0 }

\mathrm{Or \: 1(-2)(-1)+2\left(\frac{3}{2}\right) 0-1\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^2-(-2) 0-(-1)\left(\frac{m}{2}\right)^2=0 }

\mathrm{Or \: \: m^2=1 \Rightarrow m= \pm 1 }

The point of intersection of the lines is given by the solution of

\mathrm{ \frac{\partial s}{\partial x} \equiv 2 x+m y=0, \frac{\partial s}{\partial y}=m x-4 y+3=0 }

When \mathrm{ m=1 }, the point of intersection is \mathrm{ x=-\frac{1}{3}, y=\frac{2}{3} }
When \mathrm{ m=-1 }, the point of intersection is \mathrm{ x=\frac{1}{3}, y=\frac{2}{3} }.

Hence option 1 is correct.
