Problem on financial Intermediation

The main reason for the existence of financial intermediaries is as: (1) Direct flows of savings from the individuals to firms would necessitate higher transaction costs. (2) That just wealthy individuals can afford to invest in the stocks and bonds. (3) The habits of individuals who keep their savings in the deposits at financial institutions. (4) All the above are the reasons for existence of financial intermediaries.

Can someone please help me in finding out the accurate answer from the above options.
