Option 2 : 1, 2 and 3

Shankaracharya is a commonly used title of heads of monasteries called mathas in the Advaita Vedanta tradition. The title derives from Adi Shankara, an 8th-century AD reformer of Hinduism.
Shankaracharya explained the basic ideas of Upanishads. He established the importance of monastic life as sanctioned in the Upanishads and Brahma Sutra.
He is credited with unifying and establishing the main currents of thought in Hinduism It is with his teacher Govinda, that Shankara studied Gaudapadiya Karika, as Govinda was himself taught by Gaudapada.
The most popular of beliefs about Sankara is that he established four or five monastic centres called Amanaya-mathas in the different parts of the country. Many historians believe that mathas were established several centuries later and attributed to Shankara in order to give them prestige.
