Detailed Solution

Direction of magnetic field at every point on axis of a current carrying coil remains same though magnitude varies. Hence magnetic induction for whole of the x-axis will remain positive.
Therefore, (3) and (4) are wrong.
Magnitude of magnetic field will vary with x according to law, 

B = \frac{{{\mu _0}NI{R^2}}}{{2{{({R^2} + {x^2})}^{3/2}}}}

 .
Hence, at  

x = 0,\;B = \frac{{{\mu _0}NI}}{{2R}}

and when  

x \to \infty ,\;B \to 0.


Slope of the graph will be 

\frac{{dB}}{{dx}} = - \frac{{3{\mu _0}NI{R^2}.x}}{{2{{({R^2} + {x^2})}^{5/2}}}}

 .
It means, at x = 0, slope is equal to zero or tangent to the graph at x = 0, must be parallel to x-axis.
Hence (2) is correct and (1) is wrong
