Explanation:

- Option 1: A 'next friend' of a minor can be removed if they cease to reside in India during the pendency of the suit. This is because their absence could hinder them from effectively representing the minor's interests.

- Option 2: If the interest of the 'next friend' becomes adverse to that of the minor, they can be removed. This ensures that any potential conflicts of interest do not compromise the minor's case.

- Option 3: When the 'next friend' does not do their duty, they can also be removed. The minor's interests need vigilant representation, and any lapse or neglect in duties is grounds for removal.

- Option 4: All the above. This option is correct as all the reasons listed in the other options are valid grounds for removal.
