what is the shape of a protein molecule influenced by?

I am stuck on another question and would appreciate your help. The question is: "What factors influence the shape of a protein molecule?" The possible answers are: 1. Whether it is organic or inorganic 2. The sequence of amino acids in it 3. The number of genes found in the nucleus 4. The number of chromosomes in the cell. Please help me determine the correct answer.

The shape of proteins primarily is determined by the order of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins, all strung together in a single line).

Interactions between the building blocks causes the proteins to fold and twist on itself and also multiple protein molecules can come together to shape bigger molecule complexes.
