As we have learnt,

Addition of Hypochlorous acid
Alkynes when passed into hypochlorous acid solution, add two equivalents of the reagent to form an \alpha,\alpha dichloro carbonyl compound. The reaction occurs as follows



 

With HOCl, acetylene undergoes addition as depicted below

HC\equiv CH+2HOCl{\longrightarrow} HCO-CH(Cl)_2

Therefore, option (4) is correct.
