There are two issues here:
‘4 years’ means level reached, IE., level 4 or AP.
However, if you speak Spanish at home, they may not consider you learned a foreign language. In my experience, their evaluation will include whether you read and write in Spanish or’only’ had a spoken knowledge of the language, whether your parents are college graduates or not, etc.
So, you meet the letter of the admission requirement but your personal circumstances would impact whether you meet the spirit of it.
No matter what, it’s pointless to take only one year of French, unless you plan to go into Humanities /art. And if you’re qualified for Physics C and plan to major in stem, then it’s clearly the better choice.
