Option 4 : The SC will hear a writ filed by IAMAI against RBI for blocking banking services for cryptocurrency businesses. If the SC rules against IAMAI, the July 5 deadline for banks and payment gateways to stop working with cryptocurrency will take effect, affecting exchanges and traders.

The correct answer is option 4, i.e. The SC will hear a writ filed by IAMAI against RBI for blocking banking services for cryptocurrency businesses. If the SC rules against IAMAI, the July 5 deadline for banks and payment gateways to stop working with cryptocurrency will take effect, affecting exchanges and traders. 

We first make sure to read the statement carefully and then see what immediate inferences can be drawn based on our first reading. The next step is to look at the statements given in the options, analyze them and see if they seem relevant with respect to the information/data provided to us. From the statement, we can infer that the Reserve Bank of India has filed a petition for blocking banking services for bitcoin trading and corresponding to that the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI), has filed a petition against the RBI move that has set a July 5 deadline for banks and payment gateways to stop working with cryptocurrency, affecting exchanges and traders. (1) can be rejected as it talks about some circular by Supreme Court which is new idea and no information regarding it is given, thus, it can be rejected. Both (2) and (3) can also be rejected as from the given set of statements, we do not get anything concrete based on how these two exchange companies operate and work, thus, both of them can also be eliminated. Option (4) captures the essence in the most perfect way as it generalizes the fact that if the Supreme Court rules against IAMAI then exchanges will be greatly affected. It is a general inference based on the given information.

All the other options seem irrelevant with respect to the data provided in the statement. Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
