The first, second, and fourth options are the true statements. Individuals have a set amount that they can donate to a candidate per election cycle. In addition, campaign finance laws require that donors' names be made public so the electorate knows who is supporting which candidate. Also, public and private means are both used as a way of funding an election and a candidate.
