Explanation:

Option 2, while correct does not answer the question stem.
Option 3 is incorrect because the passage does not mention the ‘The easy identification of obvious points of affinity with European and American abstract art’, merely that Indian abstractionists were attracted to only one school in this category namely the Kandinsky-Klee school.
Option 4 is incorrect because the double edged nature of abstractionism does not refer to ‘identification with mystically-oriented schools’.
The fourth paragraph mentions that the Indian abstractionists are said to have aspired to the mystical-holy without altogether renouncing the symbolic. It was this that led them to be attracted to the ‘more mystically oriented of the major sources of abstractionist philosophy and practice’, such as the Kandinsky-Klee school.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
