1, 3, 4

1, 2, 3, 4

Explanation:

- According to Durkheim, in religious context, "negative rites" (or negative rights) are those that involve abstaining, avoiding, or prohibiting certain actions, often to maintain purity or avoid the profane.

- Examples include fasting (abstaining from food), purification rites (rituals to avoid impurity), and certain forms of sacrifices (often involving abstinence or avoidance).

- "Havan" is a positive rite—it is a ritual action, a performance involving offering to the fire, not an abstention.

Options:

- Option 1: 2, 3, 4 (Purification rite, Fasting, Sacrifices are NEGATIVE rites)

- Other options include "Havan" which is not a negative rite.
