Option: 2

\frac{3 \pi}{4}


Option: 3

Both (1) and (2)
 


Option: 4

Any point on this ellipse is (\sqrt{6} \cos \phi, \sqrt{2} \sin \phi).  Since, centre is (0,0),  so 6 \cos ^2 \phi+2 \sin ^2 \phi=4 \Rightarrow 2 \cos ^2 \phi=1
\Rightarrow \cos ^2 \phi=\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2=\cos ^2 \frac{\pi}{4} \Rightarrow \phi=\frac{\pi}{4} \text { or } \frac{3 \pi}{4}
