The only one I would shoot is #2.
I have taken a deer as pictured in #4.15 yards off the ground.The buck was making a scrape and I shot him as lifted his head to lick a branch.He never took another step.

I shoot a compound.

I won't take a shot on the last day that I wouldn't take the first.

02,

I agree that no. 3 gets better with elevation, still not great but better and I would take the shot at close range.

But no. 1 ? At twenty feet up I see nothing but shoulder blade. If miss the shoulder and am real lucky I may clip the rear of a lung, otherwise I am in the gut.

My only two losses where on shots like this early in my bow hunting career and I will never take an angling towards shot again.

Is there a reasonable window that I do not see?
Please explain.

I always hunt from a tree stand so:
yes/yes/no/no
I wouldn't shoot #3 only because any second a better angle will develop.
Compound

No/Yes/No/No. I shoot a compound bow. As an earlier reply stated, the day iof the season does not matter. My shot selection criteria remain the same from opener to closing day.
