During the quaternary stage of syphilis, which is also known as the late or tertiary stage, thick pus discharge from the urinogenital organ is not a characteristic feature. The quaternary stage is primarily associated with the involvement of multiple organs and systems, such as the cardiovascular system, nervous system, and bones. Symptoms in this stage can include neurologic abnormalities, cardiovascular complications, and the development of gummas (skin nodules or ulcers). Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
