Option 2 is correct. 会見 (かいけん) means a formal press conference or interview, typically held by a public figure or organization to address the media. In this sentence, 社長は会見を開き、記者からの質問に一つ一つ丁寧に答えた ('The company president held a press conference and carefully answered each question from the reporters'), the word is used properly: a person in authority opens a 会見 and reporters (記者) ask questions.

• 1Option 1 is wrong. Here 会見 is used to mean a 'job interview' for an arubaito (part-time job). The correct word for a job interview is 面接 (めんせつ). 会見 is not used for employment interviews.
• 3Option 3 is wrong. Here 会見 is used to mean a 'reunion' or 'getting together' with old classmates. The appropriate words would be 再会 (さいかい, reunion) or 面会 (めんかい, meeting/visiting someone). 会見 specifically refers to a formal press-related event, not a social gathering.
• 4Option 4 is wrong. Here 会見 is used to mean a street 'interview' for a TV program. While 会見 can involve media, it refers to a formal, organized press conference, not a casual on-the-street interview. The natural word for a TV street interview is インタビュー.
