The sentence uses the form went fourth towards, which is incorrect and needs improvement.

The sentence uses the numerical adjective 'fourth' (4th), which is incorrect.

Given the context, the correct word here must be the adverb 'forth', which means out and away from a starting point.$

The only alternative that improves the sentence is B.

None of the other alternatives can make the sentence meaningful.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
