Corey House Synthesis:-

When Gilman's reagent reacts with a primary alkyl halide, it gives a higher asymmetrical alkane by SN mechanism.

Kolbe Reaction:-  This method is applicable for the preparation of only symmetrical alkanes of the type R-R.

 Wurtz's reaction is limited to the synthesis of symmetrical alkanes.

Therefore, option (3) is correct.
