The best choice is the third:
Mina went home early from school because she wasn't feeling well.
Explanation: the original has a comma splice (two independent clauses joined by a comma). Option 3 fixes this by using "because" to join them correctly and show the cause. (Option 2 would also be grammatical—using "and"—but it changes the sense slightly; options 1 and 4 are incorrect or awkward.)
