The reaction occurs as follows:

\mathrm{2Cl(g)\: \longrightarrow\: Cl_{2}(g)}

Since the bond formation is taking place between two Chlorine atoms, an exothermic process change in enthalpy will be negative. 

On the other hand change in entropy will also be negative as the number of particles decreases. 

\mathrm{Thus,\: \Delta _{r}H\: <\: 0 \: and \: \Delta_{r} S<0}

Therefore, Option(1) is correct.
