Hello. As you have not informed the reading options that this question refers to, it is not possible that this question can be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
In order for you to be able to write a thesis statement, you must in a few lines summarize the central point of the text and issue a position on it. An example of this can be seen in a statement and thesis on the book "All the Bright Places" that says: "The book points to family neglect in relation to adolescents' feelings as an aggravation of childhood depression and the negative results that it can to tease."
I believe your answer is number 2.
Correct me if I am wrong. :)
