The question refers to the Indian Airlines flight IC-814 that was hijacked in December 1999. Following the sequence of airports where the plane landed post-hijack is important for interpreting the correct answer.

Option 1 suggests that the plane landed in the order of airports 3, 1, 2, 4. Option 2 indicates that the plane landed at airports 2, 4, 1, 3. Option 3 points out a sequence of the plane landing at airports 5, 4, 2, 3. Finally, Option 4 posits that the plane made its landings in the order of airports 5, 1, 3, 2.

The correct answer according to the information provided is Option 3, meaning the plane landed first at airport 5, then at airport 4, followed by airport 2, and finally at airport 3. The other options are incorrect as those sequences of landings do not match the historical record of this event.
