    The correct answer is (2). When two goods are complements or complementary to each other, they are demanded jointly. Let's say ink and pen. When the price of pen falls, its demand will rise. And when demand for pens rises, demand for ink will also rise. Because without ink, pens don't make sense. That shows they are jointly demanded.
