As we have learned,

Metals of Group 7,8 and 9 do not form any hydrides. From group 6, it is only Chromium that forms the interstitial hydride.

Hydrogen occupies the interstitial sites in the metal lattice but has a different lattice structure than its parent metals.

interstitial hydrides are usually electrically conducting.

So, Option 1 is correct.
