Explanation:

- Option 1: If intoxication is without the person's knowledge or against their will, they might be exonerated. They didn't choose to become impaired, so they're less accountable.

- Option 2: An intoxicated person who can't discern their actions is potentially not liable. They didn't possess the ability to understand their actions due to the intoxication.

- Option 3: This combines both conditions. If both apply, the person is generally exonerated.

- Option 4: None of the above implies no exoneration, even if intoxication wasn't voluntary or severe.

- Correct Answer: Option 3 - Both (a) and (b).
