Correct answer: Ones that are to be indexed by Google bots.
Why this is the answer
Sitemaps guide search engine crawlers to the important pages on your website. Therefore, they should only include pages you want Google (or other search engines) to index and display in search results. Including pages that are canonical to other pages is incorrect because canonical tags tell search engines which version of a page is the preferred one for indexing, and including the non-canonical versions in a sitemap can create confusion. 404 (Not Found) pages indicate that a page doesn't exist, and including them in a sitemap would be counterproductive, as you don't want search engines to index non-existent content.
