A Correct answer
Explanation

(2) is incorrect because the perfect infinitive is used when the verb expresses that the fact pointed out had happened before that represented “finite” in the verb whereas the given sentence has present infinitive, which can be used with any finite verb. (3) is incorrect because (1) is correct and (2) is incorrect. (4) is not applicable because (1) is correct.
