Answer 1

An activity carried on by an IRC 501(c)(3) entity or by a government college or university, primarily for the convienience of its members , students, patients, officers, or employees.

The basic definition of unrelated business income activity can be pointed as:
1. It is a business or a trade
2. It is carried on a regular basis
3. Its not substantially related to exempt purpose.

so if we see the first third and last option they primarily defines the situation and completes the conditions as mentioned above .

In first one it is - Trade or business, third one mentions the continuation part and last one mentions itself for exempt purpose
