Easy but confusing MCQ

If for a system of N particles of different masses m1, m2....mN with PVs r1, r2.....rN and corresponding velocities v1, v2...vN such that Σvi = 0, then

1) The total momentum must be 0.
2) The total angular momentum must be independent of the choice of the origin.
3) The total force on the system must be 0.
4) The total torque on the system must be 0.

option 2 must be correct .

because

L = Σmiviri

now suppose the origin shifts to ro

Lnew = Σmivi(ri-ro)
= Σmiviri - 0
