Which is more natural?
 
I think both:

am wondering if
was wondering if

are correct, depending on the tense you use. I however could vote for only one option! :(
 
I chose No. 1 and remember that context is very helpful.
 
I choose No. 3 of course...
 
I chose #3, but would prefer #4 if I added the phrase "or not" at the end.
 
i choose 3 this is correct tense
 
I think it's the third option, and it sounds more polite that the first one.
 
I chose "was wondering if" but is "am wondering if" less natural? Why?
 
I think it would be I am wondering if..
 
Maybe the 1st if you are asking for someone's help, or the 3rd if you are talking about st in the past.
"whether" is often used with "or"
