Income Tax - which ITR-Form or Section?

Hello,

Assuming a person has only these incomes (no salary income):

  1. small amount of Income from YouTube (less than rs 20K).
  2. bank interest.

Which ITR form should the person use? 

  1. ITR-1 with income from other sources as: YouTube income .
  2. ITR-4 with YouTube income as presumptive income under 44AD (business) 
  3. ITR-4 with YouTube income as presumptive income under 44ADA (profession)
