Alkyl magnesium halides(RMgX) are called Grignard reagents. These undergo double decomposition reactions with water, ammonia, alcohol or amine having active H atom(attached to strongly electronegative O, N, S or F and triple bond, etc.) to give alkane corresponding to alkyl group of Grignard reagent. The reaction occurs as follows:

So,

R'MgX+ROH\rightarrowR'H+Mg(OR)X

Therefore, option (2) is correct.
