Option 3 (BOTH 1 & 2)
Domino effect refers to a chain reaction (one reaction leading to the next)
Domino effect as applied here means :
A person XYZ receives a heart-lung transplant from some donor.
XYZ’s native heart is transplanted into another recipient.
Thus XYZ has received one set of organs AND given her own organ to another person (as a living donor).
