In ice molecule, each oxygen atom is tetrahedrally surrounded by four hydrogen (two by covalent bonds and two by hydrogen bonds).

This open structure forms number of vacant space in ice and makes it less dense than water molecule. This also explains why ice floats over water. Thus, both option (1) and (2) are correct.
