As we have learnt,

Organic compounds containing sulphur upon treatment with Sodium Nitroprusside give violet colour.

\mathrm{S^{2-} + [Fe(CN)_5NO]^{2-} \longrightarrow \underset{Violet \ coloration}{[Fe(CN)_5NOS]^{4-}}}

Thiourea and Thiophene both contain Sulphur and will give brilliant violet colour upon reaction with Sodium Nitroprusside solution.

Hence, the correct answer is Option (3)
