As we have learned

d-Block elements -

They are the elements of group 3  to 12 in the centre of the periodic table. These elements are characterised by the filling of the inner  d orbitals by electrons and are therefore called to as d block elements.

-

The general outermost electronic configuration of d-block elements is:
                                (n-1)d^{1-10} ns^{1-2}

Therefore, Option(3) is correct
