Answer: the second answer

Explanation:

If we want to find an inequality with no solution, that means we can expect no x and an unbalanced inequality (e.g., 3<0 which is untrue).

The second one is like that because the inequality is

3+4x
\leq2(1+2x)

If we solve it out, we get

3+4x
\leq2+4x

When you remove the variable from both sides, you now have

3
\leq2

This statement is false, since 2 will never be greater than 3.

If we look at the others, we can see that there are answers for all of them.
