  1. shownCorrect answer
  2. showedCorrect answer
  3. showing
  4. showen

Explanation

Shown is the ordinary British participle and the safer choice in formal prose, while showed doubles as a participle in American English, where the guide has showed us the collection is recorded as standard. Showing needs a form of be in front of it, and showen is not an English word at all.
