A spontaneous reaction has a negative delta G (\Delta G< 0) and a large K( K>1) value.

A non-spontaneous reaction has a positive delta G (\Delta G>0) and a small K (K<1) value.

When delta G is equal to zero (\Delta G=0) and K is around one (K=1), the reaction is at equilibrium.

This relationship allows us to relate the standard free energy change to the equilibrium constant.

Therefore, option number (4) is correct.
