Option 1 is incorrect because "but" is misused. Option 2 seems correct. Option 3 is incorrect because "and" misconstrues the meaning of the sentence. Option 4 isn't correct; for it to be correct, it would need to have "it is" between "rather" and "alive." The correct answer, therefore, is Option 2.
