The correct answer is option 4.

The word 'rein' means 'to keep under control' or 'restrain'.

In sentence A, the word 'rein' means 'control'. The sentence suggests that 'giving control to their ancient antipathy...'.

Similarly, sentence B suggests that '...Balaga began to control, and turning back drew up at the crossing of the old Konyusheny Street'.

In sentence C, the word 'rein' does not fit in. The sentence does not convey any meaning.

Therefore, option 4 is the correct answer.
