The sentence talks about a past feature that used to prevail. Thus, ‘second form of verb’ must be used. Also we can see that the meaning of adjective (‘protective’) is to be modified. Thus, we require an ‘adverb’ here.

Hence, ‘were zealously’ is the most appropriate choice here.

Option 4 is correct answer.
