The logic followed here is: 

BINDING : BOOK → A binding is an essential outer part that holds a book together.

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) criminal : gang → A criminal is a member of a gang. This is a member-group relationship.

Option 2) display : museum → A display is something found in a museum. This is a content-container relationship.

Option 3) frame : picture → A frame surrounds and supports a picture.

Option 4) nail : hammer → A nail is driven by a hammer. This is a tool-action relationship.

Hence "Option 3" is the correct option.
