For a compound to be aromatic, it should obey 4n+2πe-rule, where it must contain 2, 6, 10, 14,.....πe-s, an sp2carbon and a complete delocalization of electrons with planarity.

Option 2 has sp3 carbon. Hence, it not aromatic.

Option 1 has 5 π electrons. hence, it is not aromatic.

Option 3 has 8 π electrons. hence, it is not aromatic.

Option 4 has 6 π electrons, which participate in resonance and is planar. So, it is aromatic.
