Option 1 : was purely an increase

The correct answer is option 1) i.e. was purely an increase

The underlined part is incorrect because 'pure' is an adjective and hence cannot modify the verb 'increase'.
To modify the verb 'increase' we need an adverb, and 'purely' is an adverb form of 'pure'.
Option 3 cannot be used as a replacement, as 'were' will create a subject-verb disagreement in the sentence.
Option 1 rectifies the error of the given phrase and makes the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.

Correct sentence- "This progress has perhaps no parallel in any art, and certainly none in music, for even Beethoven's progress was purely an increase in range and power."
