The condition under which a microwave oven heats up a food item containing water molecules most efficiently is:

1. the frequency of microwaves has no relation with the natural frequency of water molecules.
2. microwaves are heatwaves, so always produce heating.
3. infrared waves produce heating in a microwave oven.
4. the frequency of the microwaves must match the resonant frequency of the water molecules.
