Explanation
Software ports are virtual communication endpoints: they allow a client computer to connect to a server, and they let the operating system identify different services — for example, port 80 for web traffic and port 25 for email. Connecting external devices or peripherals is the function of hardware ports (USB, HDMI), not software ports. Hence 1 and 3 only.
