Explanation:

- Option 1: Four months

- Imprisonment in lieu of fine is typically calculated to be one month for every portion of the fine up to Rs. 50, not exceeding one-fourth of the term of maximum imprisonment.

- For Rs. 1,000 fine, one-fourth of four months may seem reasonable but incorrect.

- Option 2: Six months

- Generally, one month of imprisonment may be considered for every Rs. 100 of unpaid fine.

- For Rs. 1,000 fine, this leads to a potential maximum imprisonment of six months.

- This is the logical answer.

- Option 3: One year

- One year would generally be excessive for a Rs. 1,000 fine.

- Option 4: Two years

- Two years far exceeds the typical conversion rates used in lieu of fine.
