Correct Option: 4

The incorrect usage is in option 4. The word 'callus' refers to a thickened area of skin, usually on the hands or feet, due to friction. The correct word here should be 'callous,' which means showing an insensitive and cruel disregard for others. Thus, 'callous indifference' is the correct phrase.
