There are two maximal elements $24$ and $45$.

There are two minimal elements $5$ and $3$.

So there is no greatest and least element.

$\therefore$ Option $4.$ is correct.

   1-We can not choose here greatest element because two maximal element(24,45 are at same level in Hasse diagram) are there.                                                                                                                                                                                                                              2-We can not choose here least element because two minimal element(3,5 are at same level in Hasse diagram) are there.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          So: Option 4 is correct.
