3)A tree is constructed for the estimated phylogeny,based on the original character matrix.
4)The same tree-building methods used on the original character set are used to create a collection of bootstrap replicate phylogenies.

Bootstrap resampling involves the following steps:
1) Resampling is done from the original character matrix to create a collection of bootstrap replicate data sets.
2) The same tree-building methods used on the original character set are used to create a collection of bootstrap replicate phylogenies.
3) A tree is constructed for the estimated phylogeny, based on the original character matrix.
4) To assess the support for any feature of the original tree, the percentage of replicate trees that also display that feature are calculated.

Therefore, the correct order is 3,2,4,1, which corresponds to choice C.
