Option 1 is correct.

Authoritative lists of original signatories to the CWC include the United States, the Russian Federation, India, Iran and Israel among those that signed the treaty when it was opened for signature, confirming that all five countries named in option 1 were signatories to the treaty banning chemical weapons [2].
