What is the difference between (Supported Architectures) in Xamarin.Android

There are four options

1- armeabi-v7a
2- arm64-v8a
3- x86
4- x86_64

Do I need to select them all if I want my application to support devices running from Android Q to Android Ice Cream Sandwich.
I want an explanation about them
