Here's a brief explanation of each option:

1. Mn: This is the chemical symbol for manganese, not magnesium.

2. Ms: This is not a valid chemical symbol for any known element.

3. Ma: This is not a valid chemical symbol for any known element.

4. Mg: This is the correct chemical symbol for magnesium. Magnesium is a chemical element with the atomic number 12 and is represented by the symbol Mg in the periodic table.

So, the correct answer is option 4. Mg.
