Option 3 : 1 and 2

Explanation:

^{\frac{1}{n}}}\)

C = clearance volume

From equation as C decreases η_vol will increase and therefore as C increases η_vol decreases.

Cooling intake air will increase its density, hence more mass flow rate and for same volume and thus volumetric efficiency increases.
