Correct answer: 3 only.
Reason: You must document others' ideas, direct quotes, and data (so items 1, 2, and 4 require citation). Writing from your own personal experience is original to you and does not require an external source citation (unless you refer to someone else's unpublished/personal communication or use published facts to support your personal claim).
