As we learnt

Alkyl halides are produced by treating alcohol with \mathrm{PCl_{5}}

When alcohol treated with \mathrm{PCl_{5}}, OH group is replaced by Cl.

\mathrm{R-OH +PCl_{5}\rightarrow R-Cl+POCl_{3}+HCl}

 

Normally \mathrm{PCl_{5}} is use to produce primary alkyl halide but under extreme conditions, it can also produce secondary alkyl halides

Therefore, option (1) is correct.
