Correct option is (b) 3 and 4

• Virtual Reality: computer-generated simulation of real-life environments that are primarily achieved with the use of headsets. When worn, the user's vision and hearing are stimulated to provide realistic experiences.
• Augmented Reality: superimposition of computer- generated images on existing environments to make them more interactive. It is utilised in the form of applications for mobile devices such as Pokemon GO. So, #2 is wrong. This eliminates A and C. Based on the same sentence, #3 is correct. So, b is the answer.
