The correct answer is option 2, i.e., Concurrent.
Simultaneous means occurring, operating, or done at the same time.

Pretend- behave so as to make it appear that something is the case when in fact it is not.
Concurrent- existing, happening, or done at the same time.
Same- identical with what is about to be or has just been mentioned.

Out of these, only Concurrent shows a meaning that is nearest to Simultaneous.
