As we have learnt,

In Packing of soda cans: To increase the solubility of CO2 gas in soda water, bottles of soda water is always packed under higher pressure.
In Deep sea diving: As nitrogen is a more soluble gas in our blood and at deep sea pressure increase so its solubility also increases, when scuba diver tries to come rapidy toward the surface of water, pressure decreased and dissolved N2 gas comes back from the blood and make bubbles in his veins. It cause bends. To avoid bends diver use oxygen diluted with helium because helium is less soluble in blood.

Therefore, option(3) is correct
