The given matrix is equal to the third option.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Matrices which have an equal number of rows and columns can be similar.
- Matrices with different numbers of rows, different numbers of columns or both cannot be identical with another.
- The matrix in the question has an order of 2×2 which means it has 2 rows and 2 columns.
- Matrices in options 1 and 2 have orders 1×4 which signifies they have 1 row and 4 columns. So the matrix in the question and the ones in options 1 and 2 are not identical.
- Options 3 and 4 are similar to the given matrix but option 4's matrix has values that differ from the values in the given matrix so option 3 is the one equal to the matrix in the question.
