Since del G is greater then 0 so reaction is endothermic. To proceed, a reaction must be exothermic that's why it is essential that either there must be involvement of ATP act as energy provider (point 3) OR there must be a reaction which must be exergonic. That's why point 4 is correct.

Because ΔG° do not determine the reaction is endorganic or exorganic.
