As we have learnt,

Acidic strength of oxides increases with the electronegativity as well as the Oxidation state of the central atom. 

Thus, the acidity of the oxides of Chlorine follow the order 

^\textrm{(+7)}Cl_2O_7> ^\textrm{(+5)}Cl_2O_5> ^\textrm{(+3)}Cl_2O_3> ^\textrm{(+1)}Cl_2O

Therefore, option (1) is correct.
