The correct option is (3)

\begin{aligned} &i=i_{0}\left(1-e^{-t / t}\right) \\ &\frac{2}{3} i_{0}=i_{0}\left(1-e^{-4 / t}\right) \\ &\frac{2}{3}=1-e^{-4 / t} \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &\ln \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)=\frac{-4}{t} \ln (e) \\ &\ln (3)=\frac{4}{t} \\ &\tau=\frac{4}{\ln (3)} \end{aligned}
