Help with "as much as"

Hi,

I really have a problem with "as much as" like the underline sentence below.

Confidence probably relates as much to success as does effective study method. Does the sentence means:

(1) Confidence probably relates to success rather than effective study method

(2) Confidence probably relates more to success than effective study method.

(3) Confidence probably relates to both success and effective study method.

(4) Confidence probably relates equally to success and effective study method.


Thank you so much.
