A number of provisions in the Constitution can be amended by a simple majority of the two houses of Parliament outside the scope of Article 368. These provisions include:

Admission or establishment of new states; Formation of new states and alteration of areas, boundaries or names of existing states; Abolition or creation of legislative councils in states; Second Schedule-emoluments; Allowances, privileges and so on of the president, the governors, the Speakers, judges, etc. Hence optioin 3rd is correct.
While Transfer of territory to foreign state under international agreement doesn't come under amendment in Constitution.
