Option 1 : important than your which are carnal, 

The correct answer is- 'important than yours' should be there in place of 'important than yours'

  • 'Your' and 'yours' both are possessive forms of 'you' but 'your' is a possessive adjective and should be followed by the noun it is qualifying while 'yours' is a possessive pronoun. Here 'yours' is used as a comparison is being drawn between affairs and to avoid repetition using 'your affairs', we use 'yours'
  • Example: This is your dairy.

                           This diary is yours.

The correct sentence is: 'Now my own affairs, which are of a spiritual kind and much more important than yours which are carnal, lie on the other side of this stream.'​
