Hi 

SYS_ID is a record unique idetifier in ServiceNow . A unique 32-character GUID (Globally Unique ID), called a Sys ID (sys_id) identifies each record in an instance. There are various ways a record is assigned a sys_id. When created within the application, sys_id values are unique.

Hello @kiran kumar m1 Usually SYS_ID will be applicable for reference and list type fields .Because when ever a field is created with reference to some table and you try to access the field value it will give you the sys_id of the referred record.

And also if you want to set the reference or list value you need to set the sys_id of the record you want to refer.

So the answer would be 2 and 3 

Hope this helps
