Option 4 : Switch

The correct answer is Switch

A network switch is a device that operates at the Data Link layer of the OSI model—Layer 2. It takes in packets being sent by devices that are connected to its physical ports and sends them out again, but only through the ports that lead to the devices the packets are intended to reach. They can also operate at the network layer--Layer 3 where routing occurs.
Switches are a common component of networks based on Ethernet, Fibre Channel, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), and InfiniBand, among others. In general, though, most switches today use ethernet.

Following are different devices used in networking:

Devices	Functions
Modem	Used for modulation and demodulation of the signal between the digital data and the analog signal.
Hub	It is used to connect multiple network hosts.
Router	Responsible for routing traffic from one network to the other.
Switch	Filtering and forwarding of data to the intended device connected to a computer network.
Bridge	It connects two subnetworks that are parts of the same network.
