The correct answer is option 2

1.) Function Generator

A function generator or sometimes called a waveform generator is a circuit that can generate a sine wave with variable frequency and amplitude.

It can generate Sine waves, Square waves, Triangular and Sawtooth waveforms as well as other types of output waveforms.

2.) Cathode Ray Oscilloscope

CRO is used for the measurement of voltage, current, frequency, and phase angle of any electrical quantity.

3.) LCR meter

LCR meters are measuring instruments that measure a physical property known as impedance. 

Impedance includes the inductance (L), capacitance (C), and resistance (R) of an electronic component.

4.) Digital storage oscilloscope (DSO)

A digital storage oscilloscope (DSO) is an electronic instrument that measures and records electrical signals.

It converts the analog signal into a digital format and stores it in its digital memory, allowing for easy recall and analysis.
