As we have learnt,

The differential rate expression for nth order reaction is as follows:
                       -\frac{\mathrm{dx}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{k}(\mathrm{a}-\mathrm{x})^{\mathrm{n}}
\text { or } \quad \mathrm{k}=\frac{\mathrm{d} \mathrm{x}}{(\mathrm{a}-\mathrm{x})^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{dt}}=\frac{(\text { concentration })}{(\text { concentration })^{\mathrm{n}} \text { time }}=(\text { conc. })^{1-\mathrm{n}} \text { time }^{-1}
Upon comparing the units of rate constant, we have 

n = 0

Hence, given reaction is zero order reaction.

Therefore, option(3) is correct
