\mathrm{K_2Cr_2O_7}  oxidises  \mathrm{SO_2} to  \mathrm{SO_4^{2-}} and itself converts into \mathrm{Cr^{3+}}. Finally green colored solution is obtained containing Cr(III) sulphate 

\mathrm{K_2Cr_2O_7+H_2SO_4+3SO_2\rightarrow K_2SO_4+\underset{Green}{Cr_2(SO_4)_3}+3H_2O}

Therefore, option (4) is correct.
