Why would anyone pick option 1 in that scenario? That's the trap option. Option 3 is okay IF it's a very short campaign at low levels. But option 2 seems like the obvious winner. I assume that's what everyone picked?

I think that is "advance to level 3" rather than "Option 3". So they created 1st level characters with either Option 1 or Option 2. It looks like at least 4 players chose option 2 (yay!). Then, they advanced these characters to 3rd level.
