3 out of 4.
The words in #3 aren’t the most obvious examples of their category, imo. I only recognized one of the 4 words as even being in the category. I haven’t checked, but I think these words were used because most others in the category have multiple words rather than single words.

Hint for #3:
another in the category: Casaba Clan; or maybe Anal Sccaab
Correct!
Right, that’s a much better member of the category.
