The logic followed here is:

Position of Monika from the left = 12th

When Monika moves four places to her right, her new position becomes 12th from the left.

Initial position of Monika from the left = 12 - 4 = 8th

Now, to find Monika's initial position from the right, we use the formula:

Position from the right = Total number of people - Position from the left + 1

Position from the right = 21 - 8 + 1 = 14

Hence, Monika's initial position from the right is 14th.

Therefore, the correct answer is "Option 3".
