SQS visibility timeout semantics

In Amazon SQS, what happens if a consumer does not delete a message before its visibility timeout expires?
Options
  1. 1The message is permanently deleted from the queue, since the broker discards it on timeout
  2. 2The message becomes visible again and may be delivered to another consumer
  3. 3The queue is paused automatically, so no other consumer receives a message until one acks it
  4. 4The message moves to the dead-letter queue, since one failed window marks it poison
