Let the ellipse be \mathrm{\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1.}

As \mathrm{\quad O S \equiv a e=2\: and \: e=\frac{1}{2}}

\mathrm{\Rightarrow \quad a=4}

Also \mathrm{b^2=a^2\left(1-e^2\right)}

            \mathrm{ =16\left(1-\frac{1}{4}\right)=12 }

\mathrm{ \therefore \quad \text{the ellipse is }\frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{y^2}{12}=1 }

Hence option 1 is correct.
