 In neutral or faintly alkaline solutions,

\mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{-} oxidises thiosulphate to sulphate.
8 \mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{-}+3 \mathrm{~S}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}^{2-}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{8\, MnO}_{2}+\mathrm{6\, SO}_{4}^{2-}+2\, \mathrm{OH}^{\Theta}
                         thiosulphate                                              sulphate

Option (4) is correct.
