Question

I got the attached question wrong on a quiz, but don't understand why my answer choice ("selected answer") is not correct.  I think the right answer is the choice about having 4 pivot points.  Can you explain why my original choice is also not valid?  

Note:  I do know that a matrix can have a nonzero rows, but still have a determinant of 0, thus not invertible.  However, this question is talking about the nonzero rows in the row-echelon form.  

Thanks!
