I believe the correct answer is the second option - it gave land to individuals or a married couple willing to live on it and work on it.
According to this Act, these people would get land free of charge, but it wouldn't be officially theirs until they have lived and worked on it for four years at least. The Act said nothing about the crops, charities, or Native Americans - it was an effort to bring more settlers into Oregon.
