The spontaneity of the reaction is decided by the total entropy change of the process and total entropy change is the sum of the system’s entropy and surrounding entropy  i.e.

\Delta S_{total}=\left ( \Delta S_{sys}+\Delta S_{surr} \right )

If  \Delta S_{total}\:\:>\:\:0  then the reaction is said to be spontaneous.

Hence, option number (4) is correct
