Davisson-Germer's experiment showed that electron beams can undergo diffraction when passed through atomic crystals. This shows the wave nature of electrons as waves can exhibit interference and diffraction.

Correct option is 3 

Any wave will show interference and the diffraction and the interference pattern of an electron were observed during Davisson and Germer experiment hence it establishes the wave nature of the electron.
