Option 3 : Calcium chloride

Calcium chloride is a hygroscopic compound that means it readily attracts and absorbs water molecules from its surroundings.
Calcium chloride binds to the water molecules through crystallisation and is therefore used as a drying agent.
It can also be used to dry solvents like acetone, ethers, esters, etc.
