Option 2 : Very slight seismic shocks cause the meerkats to run erratically.

Option 1 only strengthens the above argument and is hence not the right answer.

Option 2 is correct, as active volcanoes have very large scale seismic shocks that accompany them. Slight seismic shocks causing the meerkats to run, would lead to an incorrect conclusion about the state of the volcano. Hence, option 2 is correct.

Option 3 is a solution, but is not in any way 'undermining' the argument made above. Hence, it is false.

Hence, option 2 is correct.
