Really 3 is the answer. It is created to design republican and democratic only districts. If you look at congressional districts it is usually some sort of odd cluster of towns. It can be where one town is in one district but the next town is in another. It is really to make sure that the party in power stays in power.

The aims are 1 and 3, the results are 2 and 4.

Gerrymandering by rearranging congressional districts is aimed to favor a particular candidate and party in order to win in elections.

Historically, it's 3 and 4. However, it is done occasionally for 1 and 2. Gerrymandering has a fascinating history, and I urge you to research it more.

Usually 3 & 4. Whatever helps 1 party hurts the other. Legislative seats is the ultimate zero sum phenomenon
