Hybrid logical clock purpose

What problem does a Hybrid Logical Clock (HLC) primarily solve compared to a bare Lamport clock?
Options
  1. 1It eliminates clock skew entirely across nodes, so every node shares one wall-clock time
  2. 2It reduces the network round trips needed for consensus, so a leader commits without waiting for a quorum
  3. 3It provides causally consistent timestamps that stay close to physical wall-clock time
  4. 4It removes the need for vector clocks everywhere, so causal ordering follows from physical time alone
