Despite the option not being present in the excerpt, but in the story itself, the correct answer is Option 4. both these considerations: the marriage gave him personal satisfaction, and at the same time it was considered the right thing by the most highly placed of his associates.
This line reveals Ivan's true intentions when considering his marriage with Praskovya, as Ivan examined her characteristics thoroughly before engaging, and in conjunction with the collateral gains of this commitment - being personal satisfaction and the desire for social acceptance, as described in Option 4 -, he made the decision that in the end would fulfill all of his needs.
So at the end of an evening he sometimes danced with Praskovya Fedorovna, and it was chiefly during these dances that he captivated her. She fell in love with him. Ivan Ilyich had at first no definite intention of marrying, but when the girl fell in love with him he said to himself: "Really, why shouldn't I marry?"
