It'll be the fourth one.

Judging from the first sentence, there are multiple boys here. So it would be boys' indicating a plural but possessive.

There will only be one teacher, so it will be teacher's, indicating singular but possessive.

So, "the boys' comic books are on the teacher's desk" is the correct.
