The solubility of sulfides is directly proportional to the ionic character. 

The more the covalent character, the lower the solubility of the salt. 

Due to the poor shielding effect of d orbitals in d block elements, hence CuS and ZnS are more covalent in comparison to Na2S. 

in the case of  Cu2+ and Zn2+, Cu2+ has a smaller size hence, more charge-to-size ratio, more polarizing power, more covalent character, and lower solubility. 

The Correct answer is option 3.
