As we have learnt,

Sodamide causes aromatic nucleophilic substitution by the Benzyne mechanism.

It causes dehydrohalogenation to form Benzyne and then subsequent addition to benzyne leads to substitution.

In the given case, however, since no-H atom is available at ortho position with respect to Cl-atom, dehydrohalogenation reaction does not take place and Benzyne is not formed.

Therefore, option(4) is correct.
