(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option

3.
In a ratio detector
the linearity is worse than in a phase discriminator
the output is twice that obtainable from a similar phase discriminator
stabilization against signal strength variations is provided
the circuit is the same as in a discriminator, except that the diodes are reversed
