confusion between linear and logarithmic time complexity

Please paste the question here.

Choose the correct output and time complexity for the following code :

list< int > myList = { 2, 6, 12, 13, 15, 18, 20};
cout << binary_search(myList.begin(), myList.end(), 20) ;

Output is 20 and time complexity is Linear in size of the list.

Output is 1 and time complexity is Linear in size of the list.

Output is 20 and time complexity is Logarithmic in size of the list.

Output is 1 and time complexity is Logarithmic in size of the list.

Binary search has a logarithmic complexity.
