Explanation:

The correct answer is 'so'
In the given sentence, we need to use the adverb 'so'.
The combination of so+far leads to the phrase 'so far' meaning until this point.
It is the present perfect tense which means an action that is continuing until this point.
In the given sentence, we are talking about how governments have not been able to eradicate child labor until the present time.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
The complete passage is: For many years now the governments have been promising (1) the eradication of child labour in hazardous industries in India. But the truth (2) is that despite all the rhetoric no government (3) so far has succeeded in eradicating this evil, (4) nor has any been able to ensure compulsory primary education (5) for every Indian child.
