Solution:
From triangle law of vector addition, we are familiar with the concept that if three vectors are such that they end up forming a triangle(i.e., the configuration ends at the point from where it starts) then the resultant value is zero.
Since force is also a vector quantity, the same concept applies here too. But in order to form a triangle the basic condition that needs to be satisfies is that the largest side should be less than or equal to sum of other two sides. This condition is satisfied only in Option 4.
