Nucleophilic addition reaction will be most favoured in                   [2006]

1. $$
$\mathrm{O}$
$\parallel$
${\mathrm{CH}}_3-{\mathrm{CH}}_2-{\mathrm{CH}}_2\mathrm{C}-{\mathrm{CH}}_3$

2. 8 $\mathrm{\sigma }$-bonds, 2$\mathrm{\pi }$-bonds and 2 lone pairs

3. 10 $\mathrm{\sigma }$-bonds, 1$\mathrm{\pi }$-bond and 1 lone pair

4. 9 $\mathrm{\sigma }$-bonds, 2$\mathrm{\pi }$-bonds and 1 lone pair

In this reaction,

CH₃CHO + HCN $\to$CH₃CH(OH)CN $\stackrel{\mathrm{H}.\mathrm{OH}}{\to }$CH₃CH(OH)COOH
