Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Number one is incorrect because ,due to the structure of the sentence the Windsor Greys seem to be the ones waving to the crowd as well.It is ambiguous.Number 3 makes it seem it is the Windsor Greys who are riding and waving to the crowd.Number 4 gives more importance to the carriage than to Queen Elizabeth.
