In this CONTEXT, what does the word meanness mean

A desire to hurt the feelings of everyone she meets
A messy appearance and overall dirtiness
A generally unpleasant and stingy attitude
A hilarious ability to be sarcastic

CONTEXT: 27 The other thing we hated Mrs Pratchett for was her meanness. Unless you spent a whole sixpence all in one go, she wouldn’t give you a bag. Instead you got your sweets twisted up in a small piece of newspaper which she tore off a pile of old Daily Mirrors lying on the counter.
