As we have learnt,

Electronic configuration of \mathrm{Cr^3^+} is \mathrm{[Ar]3d^34s^0}

So, irrespective of the strength of the ligand, \mathrm{Cr^{3+}} always forms inner orbital complexes with \mathrm{d^{2}sp^3} hybridised hexa-coordinated complexes

The given complex has chloride ions outside the coordination sphere, hence it will give a white precipitate of \mathrm{AgCl} with \mathrm{AgNO_3}

Therefore, option (2) is correct.
