Hi Keren,
Visuddhimagga Ch IV, 183 gives the answer, it is no. 2.<...he enters upon
and dwells in the fourth jhaana, which has neither-pain-nor-pleasure and has
purity of mindfulness due to equanimity.>
And it explains in 94:<And has purity of mindfulness due to equanimity: has
purity of mindfulness brought about by equanimity. For the mindfulness in
this jhaana is quite purified, and its purification is effected by
equanimity, not by anything else...>
