    Solution:

    Here, we need to find the formula for the surface area of a sphere.
    The surface area of a sphere is exactly four times the area of a circle with the same radius.
    Also, area of circle =πr2.
    Then, area of sphere =4×πr2.
    Hence, the surface area of a sphere is given by the formula 4πr2.
    Therefore, option 1 is correct.
