  • There are four primary partition, which is the limit, you have to delete one of them to create new ones.

I don't know for sure (it's been awhile), but I think you have created the maximum number of primary partitions. You can have a maximum of four primary partitions, and you appear to be at that number. In order to create more partitions, you'll need to delete one of those partitions (probably sda4), and then create a new extended partition, which you can divide into logical partitions.
