Explanation:

The passage states the conditions termed as ‘veil of ignorance’ thus: “In ‘justice as fairness’, the original position …… is understood as a purely hypothetical situation characterized so as to lead to a certain conception of justice. Among the essential features of this situation is that no one knows his place in society, his class position or social status, nor does anyone know his fortune in the distribution of natural assets and abilities, his intelligence, strength, and the like. I shall even assume that the parties do not know their conceptions of the good or their special psychological propensities. The principles of justice are chosen behind a veil of ignorance.”
Option 4 fulfills these conditions best. The rule makers in the options cannot know even their sex in the next birth – a clear case of veil of ignorance. Situations in all the other options exhibit some degree of knowledge or awareness of their position etc. The businessmen, school children, and immigrants have some degree of awareness of their existence.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
