Detailed Solution
For a point source of light, wave fronts at finite distance are concentric spherical surfaces.For a long line source of light, wave fronts at finite distances are co-axial cylindrical surfaces.For parallel rays of light wave fronts are plane surfaces.At very large distance rays of light, emerging from any sources, become nearly parallel.So option - (3) is right.
