    Explanation:

    At the moment the paint is 3 liters of paint and 3 liters of water.

    We need to add to this to make the new ratio 2 liters paint to 1.5 liters water.

    As this is equivalent to 4 : 3

    we can see that we have the right amount of water, and just need 1 liter of paint to make it correct.

    Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
