In a city, an exciting Rummy tournament is being organized exclusively for local households. Each competing team comprises precisely four family members, with each resident belonging to just one team. The tournament progresses through multiple rounds, where four teams engage in intense battles. Only one team emerges victorious in each round, while the other three teams face elimination. The tournament strictly adheres to the rule that teams or players can only exit by being defeated. Notably, a remarkable 4096 players participated in the first round. From the given choices, select the appropriate combination of tournament rounds and the number of teams to ensure that the specified number of teams remains in the competition after the designated number of rounds. Make two selections, one from each column.

Initially, there were 4096 members, so divide this by 4, which gives 1024 teams in total. Now, in every game, 4 teams play against each other, and only one team remains. Therefore, in the first round, there will be a total of 1024/4 games, or 256 games, where 3 losses and one win remain. After the 2nd round, 256/4 games, or 64 games, where 3 losses and one win remain. After the 3rd round, 64/4 games, or 16 games, where 3 losses and one win remain. Lastly, after the 4th round, 16/4 games, or 4 games, where 3 losses and one win remain.
