As we have learnt, 

Helium is used as a diluent for oxygen in modern diving apparatus because of its very low solubility in blood.

Neon is used in discharge tubes and fluorescent bulbs for advertisement display purposes. Neon bulbs are used in botanical gardens and in green houses.

Argon is used mainly to provide an inert atmosphere in high temperature metallurgical processes (arc welding of metals or alloys) and for filling electric bulbs.

There are no significant uses of Xenon and Krypton. They are used in light bulbs designed for special purposes.

Therefore, the statement given in Option(4) is incorrect.

Hence, the answer is Option (4)
