As we have learnt, 

Chromyl chloride is a confirmatory test for chloride ion wherein ionic chlorides react with potassium dichromate in the presence of sulphuric acid to form orange red vapors of chromyl chloride.

The reaction is given below

\mathrm{4 NaCl + K _{2} Cr _{2} O _{7}+6 H _{2} SO _{4} \longrightarrow 2 KHSO _{4}+\underset{Chromyl\ Chloride}{2 CrO _{2} Cl _{2}}+4 NaHSO _{4}+3 H _{2} O}

Hence, the correct answer is Option (3)
