Explanation:

- Helium (Option 4): Helium is used as a cooling medium for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), MRI scanners, and NMR spectrometers. It is ideal due to its extremely low boiling point, which allows it to cool superconducting magnets effectively to very low temperatures necessary for their operation.

- Neon (Option 1): Neon is not typically used as a cooling medium in these applications. It is more commonly known for lighting.

- Chlorine (Option 2): Chlorine is a reactive gas and not suitable as a cooling medium for these sensitive instruments.

- Argon (Option 3): Argon is a noble gas, but it's not generally used for cooling in the contexts mentioned.
