Given,

\begin{array}{l}{\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{OH} \rightarrow \mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+}+\mathrm{OH}^{-} \text {(weak base) }} \\ {\mathrm{\: c} \quad\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 0 \quad \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 0 \text {\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \ conc. before }} {\text { ionization }} \\ {\text { c(1-a) \: \: \: \: c.a \: \: \: \: \:c.a \: \: \: \: \:\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: conc. after\: ionization }} \\ {\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=\mathrm{c} \cdot a=4 \times 10^{-3} \times \frac{3.2}{100}} \\\\ {\mathrm{pH}=-\log \left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=-\log \left[1.28 \times 10^{-2}\right]} \\ {\mathrm{pH}= 1.8927 + 2\approx 3.8894}\end{array}
Therefore,option(4) is correct
