Explanation:

- The sentence is about Steve going away and the time frame for his return.

- Option 1: "on" is used for specific days or dates. It doesn’t fit here as the sentence talks about a range of time.

- Option 2: "by" implies something will happen before a specific time. It’s not correct because it suggests he might return before Monday, not stay away until then.

- Option 3: "until" means he will be away for the whole period ending on Monday. This perfectly fits the sentence context.

- Option 4: "from" is used to indicate the starting point of an action. It doesn't make sense here because the sentence focuses on the end point, not the start.
