Explanation:

- Option 1: The sentence is indeed improper for an offense under Section 325 I.P.C., which involves voluntarily causing grievous hurt. Typically, the punishment can extend to seven years with or without a fine.

- Option 2: Although the sentence is lenient given the maximum penalty, it may be viewed as proper if the court considered mitigating factors like the prolonged trial duration.

- Option 3: Sentencing to imprisonment till the rising of the court and a fine could be seen as appropriate, considering the seven-year trial delay might call for a lenient approach.

- Option 4: Both Option 1 and Option 3 acknowledge the leniency or alternative sentencing approach due to prolonged trial.

? Option 4 is the correct answer.
