Detailed Solution

Concept: An autobiography is a personal essay or record about one's life written by the person himself/herself/itself.
Because an autobiography is a personal account written by the author, it is always written in the first person. In other words, a person expresses himself/herself. As a result, it is written in the first person, beginning with 'I' and 'we.' As a result, there are two correct answers: 1 and 2. The pen is writing its autobiography in the given question. Option 1 describes the pen as a blue pen in the first person (using 'I'). Similarly, in option 2, it describes itself as useful in the first person.
However, options 3 and 4 are incorrect. Option 3 sentences are written in the third person, i.e. a person describing another person to a third person. It is clear from words like 'this pen' and pronouns like 'it.' This is not appropriate for an autobiography. Option 4 is also in the third person, as indicated by the use of the words 'this pen.
Hence, option 1 and 2 are the correct answers.
