Option: 2

H_{2}O<H_{2}S<H_{2}Se<H_{2}Te : Increasing pK_{a} values


Option: 3

NH_{3}<PH_{3}<AsH_{3}<SbH_{3} : Increasing acidic character

 


Option: 4

(1) is correct. On moving down the group, acidic strength increases

(2) is incorrect. Greater the acidic strength, greater is the Ka value and lesser is the pKa value.

(3) is correct. On moving down the group, acidic strength increases

(4) is correct. On moving down the group 14, stability of +4 oxidation state decreases and the tendency to accept electrons increases. Thus, the oxidising power increases
