2 is correct!

Cultural relativism holds that "Intolerance is good" means

    { 1 } - "I approve of intolerance."
    { 2 } - "Intolerance is socially approved."
    { 3 } - "Intolerance leads to more pleasure than pain for society."

CR says that "X is good" means "X is socially approved."

Our society might approve of intolerance. If it does, then intolerance is good. Thus CR doesn't necessarily lead to intolerance being bad.

This is utilitarianism. CR looks, not to pleasure/pain consequences, but to what society feels.
