The simplest answer, would be the 1st and the 2nd together, beginning with the 2nd idea: Aura is unlocked via training and/or meditation. Because even if people had to get help from someone who has theirs unlocked, here's the thing: All loops begin somewhere.

Since we know people can have others unlock their Auras thanks to Arkos, and neither idea really opposes each other, we can combine them easily.

The 3rd idea (through trauma) is the one with the weakest "proof" (Kid Ren when Old Nuck passed by. But if we say he unlocked his Aura back then, that means he unlocked his Aura and Semblance simultaneously, which is too much of a Deus Ex Machina). But doesn't oppose the other ideas either, so it can also be added in ATM.
