The correct answer is: \(\frac{16}{25}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
& \text {Since, } \tan x=\frac{3}{4} \\
& \Rightarrow \quad \sin ^2 x=\frac{9}{25} \\
& \text { and } \quad \cos ^2 x=\frac{16}{25} \\
& \text { and } \sin x \cosh y=\cos \theta, \cos x \sinh y=\sin \theta \\
& \because \cos ^2 \theta+\sin ^2 \theta=1 \\
& \Rightarrow(\sin x \cosh y)^2+(\cos x \sinh y)^2=1 \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{9}{25}\left(1+\sinh ^2 y\right)+\frac{16}{25} \sinh ^2 y=1 \\
& \Rightarrow 9+9 \sinh ^2 y+16 \sinh ^2 y=25
\end{aligned}\)
\(\Rightarrow \sinh ^2 y=\frac{16}{25}\)
Hence, option (4) is correct.
