As we have learnt,

Pure Chlorine can be obtained by heating the chlorides of metals having low reactivity like Au or Pt. The reactions are given as 

\mathrm{2AuCl_{3}\overset{\Delta}\longrightarrow 3Cl_2 + 2Au}

\mathrm{PtCl_{4} \overset{\Delta }{\longrightarrow} 2Cl_{2} + Pt}

Hence, the correct answer is Option (3)
