Pivot columns are the columns, which contains pivot positions, so those pivot columns are $1, 2$ .

$1, 2$

A pivot position in a matrix is a position that after row reduction contains a leading $1$ . Thus, the leading one in the pivot columns $1, 2$ are the pivot positions.

The leading $1 s$ in the pivot columns $1, 2$ are the pivot positions
