Expert Solution
Step 1

TLC i.e. thin layer chromatography is used to identify the components of reaction mixture, depending upon their polarity.

Here stationary phase is used, is polar in nature where mobile phase is used is non polar or less polar solvent or mixture of solvents.

Here 1 and 2 spots have no error as they give two separate sport on TLC .

But in case of 3rd one trail is arrised.Thus 4 th option is incorrect.
