36 - ATPL - What is the effect of high aspect ratio of an aeroplane's wing on induced drag?

Question 36 - Principles of Flight - ATPL - Airline Transport Pilot license

It is increased because high aspect ratio has greater frontal area
It is reduced because the effect of wing-tip vortices is reduced
It is increased because high aspect ratio produces greater downwash
It is unaffected because there is no relation between aspect ratio and induced drag
