3. Me 109
4. No such claims were made.

This is a new one for me. However, since the Germans had sold the Japanese one or more BF-109s and it was widely assumed at the time that they were using this type, this ( 3 ) must be the answer.

3 is the correct answer!!! The SM-79 was not one of the aircraft type that was deployed for this operation. Other Italian aircraft used in the transport role for this operation were Caproni 133Ts, one Savoia-Marchetti S.75, with nine Ca164s for communications.

4) crazy stunt

The answer is an Immelmann.
