Option 4 can be eliminated as it makes no logical sense. Use of though is done when introducing a contradiction or contrast. Participation in an event called ‘Code for Good Hackathon’ does not provide any contrast to the fact that he was earning a bachelor’s degree in the science of information systems.

Option 1 is also eliminated because it suggests that participation in the event led him to earn a bachelor’s degree. This is not the expected meaning.

Compared with all other options, option 2 makes a perfect logical sense. It suggests that Mathew, who participated in his first ‘Code for Good Hackathon’ was a student at Stony Brook University, earning a bachelor’s degree in the science of information systems.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
