Why each option
The Intel Pentium 4 processor used Socket 478, a 478-pin PGA socket. The other listed sockets belong to AMD or later Intel processor families.
Intel designed Socket 478 (also called mPGA478) specifically for the Pentium 4 (Northwood and Willamette cores) and Celeron processors of that generation. It is a 478-pin micro-PGA socket and was used from 2001 through approximately 2004, before Intel transitioned to Socket 775 (LGA775).
Socket 939 is an AMD socket used for Athlon 64 and Opteron processors, not Intel Pentium 4.
Socket 1366 (LGA1366) is an Intel socket used for the first-generation Core i7 (Nehalem) processors, which came years after the Pentium 4.
AM2+ is an AMD socket used for Phenom and Athlon 64 X2 processors, not compatible with any Intel processor.
