Therefore, option 1 is incorrect.Option 3 states that X does not marry Y which is a correct negation but it also states that P marries Q which is not a negation. Therefore, option 3 is incorrect.Option 4 states that P marries Q and X marries Y, it is not a negation, therefore, option 4 is incorrect.Option 3 states that neither P marries Q nor X marries Y, which is a correct negation.
