As we know that the bonds are formed and breaks during the chemical reaction. Some energy is released or absorbed when the bonds are formed and breaks during the chemical reaction.

During the bond breaking, some energy is required to break the bonds.

During the bond formation, some energy is released to the formation of the bonds.

In the given reaction, the bond between the hydrogen-hydrogen in $H_2$ are breaking into two hydrogen. That means during the bond breaking, some energy is required or absorbed to break the bonds.

Hence, the correct option is, (2) Energy is absorbed as bonds are broken.
