Depends how pedantic you want to be.

(1) I don't think (1) is true for every timescale/type of average, and the timescale isn't defined in the question. This is the most poorly written imo.

(2) false. Assuming that there isn't a conspiracy that hasn't yet come to light.. that isn't likely, but it's quite difficult to prove a negative generally.

(3) false, although the Supreme Court has read in rights that were explicitly considered and not included in the past (eg sexual orientation).

(4) true, but there are other smaller contributing causes as well (eg solar radiation levels)

I'd be interested to see the responses by question. I think (1) has the strongest case for a "wrong" answer to not be misinformation, but I'd suspect the covid/climate ones to be the most aggressively answered the other way. I'd hope (3) got very few people.
