#1 is right if there are three or more activities or maybe an unknown number of activities.

#2 is right if there are only two activities (no other number!).

"Which are" is correct since you're referring to "activities" (plural).

3 - 5 are all about the same, yes.

You would use "Which is" if you want to choose just one.

If you may choose more than one, you would use "which are".

3-5 all mean the same thing and all are used.
