Copper will reduce \text{Ag}^{+} and itself convert into \text{Cu}^{2+} which gives blue colouration

\mathrm{Cu}+2 \mathrm{AgNO}_{3} \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}+2 \mathrm{Ag}

\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}+4 \mathrm{H}{ }_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow\left[\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{4}\right]\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}

Hence, the correct answer is Option (1)
