A Correct answer
Explanation

Options (2), (3) and (4) are perfectly valid usage for word argue. But the form of argue as used in sentence (1), 'argumenting' is incorrect as there is no such word as argumenting. Instead correct sentence would be 'he has an argumentative nature'. This marks option (1) as required answer.
