The correct answer is option 1: Yama, Indra, Varuna and Kubera.

Lokapalas, also known as the Guardians of the Universe, are deities in Hinduism who are responsible for protecting and maintaining the different directions or Lokas. The Lokapalas are often associated with specific directions and are believed to have the power to influence the aspects related to their respective directions.

In option 1, Yama, Indra, Varuna, and Kubera are mentioned. Yama is the God of Death and rules over the southern direction. Indra is the King of the Gods and rules over the eastern direction. Varuna is the God of the Oceans and rules over the western direction. Kubera is the God of Wealth and rules over the northern direction.

These four deities are considered the Lokapalas or the Guardians of the Universe in Hindu mythology. They play significant roles in maintaining order and balance in the universe.

Therefore, option 1 is the correct answer as it accurately lists the Gods who are also known as Lokapalas or the Guardians of the Universe.
