2, 3, 4

1, 3, 4

1, 2,3,4

Explanation:

- Gotra Exogamy: Marrying outside one's own gotra is correct. This practice avoids marriage within the same lineage, as gotra denotes a common ancestor.

- Pravara Exogamy: Indicates that individuals with the same pravara cannot marry among themselves. Pravara pertains to lineage, and avoiding marriage within the same pravara ensures diversity.

- Village Exogamy: Marrying outside one's own village is a common tradition in many cultures to expand social networks.

- Pinda Exogamy: Refers to not marrying within the same sapinda or panda lineage. Sapinda relationships are determined by common parentage, so marrying within this group is avoided to prevent close kin marriages.

- The correct answer is Option 4: 1, 2, 3, 4.
