1. Open, ON
2. Closed, OFF
3. Closed, ON
4. None is correct

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Closed, ON

Concept:

Circuit

• A circuit is the path of electric current to flow. 
• It consists of a source of current or potential difference that can be an electric cell or a battery. 
• It may consist a circuit breaker or switch and other devices like a bulb. 

Switch

• A switch is a device that acts as a circuit breaker as per requirement. 
• When the switch is closed, that means the path of the current or circuit is closed or completed. 
• We say the switch is ON in this case. 
• When we don't want the current to flow through the connected device, the switch is made off.
• The circuit is made to open so that no current can flow through it.

Explanation:

So, to make the current flow, we need to switch ON. This is the case when the current is flowing and the switch is closed. 

So, the correct option is Closed, ON.
