This is an incorrect choice. If something is "convenient", it is suited to your purposes or needs. A "convenient seat" might be a seat that is next to the buffet, for example. We do not use the term "convenient" to describe a seat as being free or available.
This is a correct choice. Used with an "excuse me" at the beginning, this is a very nice way to check if a seat is available or not!
This is a correct choice. The king of "is this seat free?" phrases! It can be used in cinemas, trains, planes - anywhere with seats! Great!
This is an incorrect choice. This isn't really appropriate to use with strangers! It assumes that you already have permission to sit in the seat and just want authorization to be comfortable! This phrase is better used in a different context with guests or visitors. Example: Please make yourself comfortable (=relax and behave as if you were at your place).
