Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4: All of them.

Explanation:
Under Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (Cr. P.C.), a Magistrate is empowered to issue orders in urgent cases of nuisance or danger to public tranquility. The provisions allow the Magistrate to:

Make a restrictive order preventing a person from committing an act that may pose a threat to public peace (e.g., prohibiting public gatherings).
Not issue mandatory orders directing someone to perform a specific act, as Section 144 is primarily preventive and restrictive in nature.
Avoid positive orders requiring a person to perform specific actions. The Magistrate cannot indirectly enforce a positive act under the guise of a restrictive order.

Thus, all these points correctly reflect the scope and limitations of Section 144 Cr. P.C..
