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

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

Therefore, option (4) is correct.
