As we have learnt, 

Molisch's Test is used to detect Carbohydrates

Barfoed Test is used to distinguish between Monosacharides and Disaccharides

Biuret Test is used for the detection of peptide linkages (amide linkages) in amino acids

The given tests and the compounds giving positive and negative tests are tabulated below:

Compound Molisch's test Barfoed test

Biuret test

Positive Test Lactose, Glucose, Fructose Glucose

Albumin

Negative Test   Sucrose

Alanine

Hence, the option number (1) is correct.
