The correct answer is "All of the above." In Allen Ginsberg's poem "A Supermarket in California," he refers to Walt Whitman as "dear father" because he considers Whitman to be a leader and pioneer in American poetry (option 1). Ginsberg views Whitman's wisdom as a poet to be similar to that of a wise paternal figure (option 2). Additionally, Ginsberg also sees Whitman as the father of poetry in America, recognizing his significant influence on later generations of poets (option 3). Therefore, all of these options are valid reasons for Ginsberg's reference to Whitman as "dear father" in the poem.
