I am reading some online article on Zeeman effect
http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/spin/node10.html
In the article, the author mentions 4 selection rules, I wonder the corresponding transition is allowed by satisfying one of these selection rules or the corresponding line will be allowed only when all rules are satisfied?

Thanks.

All four selection rules must be satisfied.
