In terms of radicals, all options are correct.
Radicals only serve for you to easily remember the characters really.

For example:
二＋人＝天。 → "There are two people high in the sky".
一＋大＝天。 → "There is only one sky, and it's big".

And so on.

What can you say about Option 4?

[宇崎ちゃん]

Option 4 is too much radicals actually.
You can use radicals as building blocks, you can't merge them.

Don't you think that Option 4 is not quite correct? Radical 二 èr 'two' is missing. When we analyze the Chinese character 天 tiān ‘sky’ we can't do without 二 èr 'two'. Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me, friend!
