Both 1 & 2
SharePoint uses Content Databases to store site content (documents, lists, etc.) and a Configuration Database to store farm-wide configuration settings. These are the two primary database types.
SharePoint uses both a Content Database (storing site content — documents, list data, metadata for one or more site collections) and a Configuration Database (storing farm-wide configuration and topology information), making 'Both 1 & 2' correct. A 'Replication Database' is not a standard SharePoint database type, so it's a distractor. Other SharePoint databases exist too (e.g., Central Admin content DB, service application databases), but among the choices given, Content and Configuration are the two legitimate SharePoint-specific databases.
