The correct answer is option 3): (100 Hz)

Concept:

The ripple frequency of the output and input is the same.

This is because one half-cycle of input is passed and another half-cycle is seized.

So, effectively the frequency is the same

qImage14079

so fin  = fr

the ripple frequency  = 100 Hz

The ripple frequency of a half-wave rectifier is f0, where f0 is the input line frequency. The ripple frequency of a center-tapped or a bridge-type full-wave rectifier is 2f0.
