This is purely delusional..since he is involved in an extramarital affair, he strongly belives that his wife is also following his foot steps.. 
Delusions are FIXED FALSE belief, not shared by others, other than this,this guy has no other psychiatric s/s------->So I go for 1)

delusion in delusional disorder is quite reasonable, but delusion in schizophrenia is much eccentric. And there is no hallucination in this case, so answer is 1.
