In female human cells, one of the two X chromosomes is randomly inactivated, forming a Barr body. Therefore, in a female human cell with one Barr body, one X chromosome is active, and the other X chromosome is inactivated. The active X chromosome is responsible for the expression of X-linked genes in the cell, while the inactivated X chromosome is silenced and condensed into the Barr body.

Option 1 is the correct answer.
