Answer 1

In theory the 4 digit option is right. But in practice it might be better to have 1900-2099 range.

Additionally it need to be non-capturing group. Many comments and answers propose capturing grouping which is not proper IMHO. Because for matching it might work, but for extracting matches using regex it will extract 4 digit numbers and two digit (19 and 20) numbers also because of paranthesis.

This will work for exact matching using non-capturing groups:

(?:19|20)\d{2}
