If the sun were to expand, its angular momentum would remain constant. 

We know,

$L \propto \frac{I}{T} \propto \frac{R^2}{T}$

Given, $R_2 = 2 R_1$ and $T_1 = 27 \text{days}$

$\therefore \frac{R_1^2}{27 \text{days}} = \frac{4R_1}{T_2}$
$T_2 = 4 \times 27 = 108 \text{days}$

Hence, the answer is the option 1.
