As you are familiar net income/net loss arises when an entity's revenue for  specific period is deducted from the expense of the same period. Thus, if the revenue is greater than the expense the result is net income and it increases the owner's equity. on the other hand if the expense is greater than the revenue then the result is net loss and it decreases the owner's equity. in short the net income increases the capital or owners' equity and net loss decreases the owner's equity as you can see from the following formula

Ending capital = beginning capital plus additional investment Plus/minus  net income/net loss - withdrawal.

 So choice number2 is the correct answer for your question.
