Going in the reverse order 

When a number is divided by 6, the remainder is 2 => the number is of the form 6k+2

When 6k+2 is divided by 5,the remainder is 3 => the number is of the form 5(6k+2)+3 = 30k+13

When 30k+13 is divided by 3, the remainder is 1.

The remaining is 3(10k+4), so when 10k+4 is divided by 4, the remainder is 0 or 2

Among the given options 1, 2 satisfies this condition.
