Your answer is #4, Reversible. A reversible reaction is one in which the reactants form products, and the products can be transformed back into reactants. In other words, it is a chemical reaction that can be made to proceed in either direction contingent upon the correct conditions. So if reactants A and B create products C and D,
A + B --> C + D
and reactants C and D can create products A and B,
A + B <-- C + D
then the equation can be denoted with a double arrow, showing it goes in both directions:
A + B <--> C + D
