(2) extending political equality to women
(3) allying with communist bloc countries
(4) adopting a western economic system

The correct answer is 1. The government of Ayatollah Khomeini attempted  to change Iranian society by  implementing Islamic fundamentalist principles.

Explanation:

Ruhollah Khomeini was an Iranian ayatollah, political-spiritual leader of the Islamic Revolution of 1979, who overthrew the sah Mohammad Reza Pahlevi, and Supreme Leader of the country until his death. Western powers considered him a messianic leader, whose political initiatives jeopardized international stability. He is considered the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

On February 11, 1979, when the revolution had already been consummated, he established the Islamic Republic with an elected president every four years, reserving for himself the head of state with the denomination of Supreme Leader of Iran. His government interrupted the Westernization undertaken by the Shah and instituted Islamic law.
