\begin{array}{l}{\text { \: \: \: Buffer capacity }} {\mathrm{=\frac{\text { Number of moles per litre of acid or base added }}{\text { Change in } \mathrm{pH} \text { or } \mathrm{pOH}}}}\end{array}
[\mathrm{Acid}]=\frac{0.002 \times 1000}{250}=0.008 \mathrm{M}
\text { Buffer capacity }=\frac{0.008}{0.02}=0.4

Therefore, option(4) is correct
