Four separate setups contain ideal polarizing filters placed in the path of identical unpolarized light beams of initial intensity \(I_0\). The transmission axis angles of the filters in each setup are measured relative to the vertical direction:

SetupNumber of FiltersTransmission Axis Angles
12\(0^\circ\), \(90^\circ\)
23\(0^\circ\), \(45^\circ\), \(90^\circ\)
32\(0^\circ\), \(60^\circ\)
42\(0^\circ\), \(45^\circ\)

Which of the following correctly ranks the intensity of the light emerging from the final filter in each setup from greatest to least?
