A Correct answer
Explanation

The given sentence belongs to the Noun clause. “What” is an interrogative pronoun / adjective which is used for writing interrogative sentences or exclamatory sentences when a sudden expression of feelings / ideas is made. However the given sentence requires “that” and not “what” to make it a complete subordinate clause of the main clause and to act as the subject of the verb “should”. Hence, (1) is the correct answer.
