Correct answer: (D) 2 and 4 only

Explanation

Turnitin and iThenticate are dedicated plagiarism detection tools that compare text against large databases.

Turnitin matches submissions to web sources, publications and student papers.

iThenticate serves researchers and publishers checking manuscripts before publication.

Mendeley is a reference manager for organising citations, not a similarity checker.

A compiler translates programming code and has no role in detecting plagiarism.

These tools report a similarity index rather than a verdict of misconduct.
