Adaptive Bitrate Ladder Design

Why does HLS/DASH adaptive bitrate use a segment ladder of multiple resolutions and bitrates?
Options
  1. 1So the client can fetch the same rendition from fewer CDN edge locations overall
  2. 2So the client can switch renditions per segment to match changing bandwidth without rebuffering
  3. 3So each separate rendition can be encrypted with its own distinct content key
  4. 4So the player no longer needs to download or parse the master manifest at all
