A Correct answer
Explanation

The first part of the sentence deals with something that computers do; the second part deals with the final aspect of a two-part process. Of all these options, (1) and (4) seems to fit our prediction. “Collate” means to compare or examine, which implies that information is examined and then a picture is created whereas ‘extrapolation’ is done from existing information and an investigation would not be a consequence. Hence, (1) is the answer.
