As we have learnt,

Primary Halides undergo substitution reaction with Alkoxide ion in the presence of alcohol as solvent to form an ether. This reaction is known as Williamson's Synthesis of ethers

For example, 

\mathrm{C_6H_5ONa+CH_3Cl\overset{\Delta }{\longrightarrow} C_6H_5OCH_3}

Hence, the correct answer is Option (1)
