2 is wrong. Please try again.

Suppose that Hitler, who likes the killing of Jews, says "The killing of Jews is good." On emotivism, Hitler's statement is

    { 1 } - true.
    { 2 } - false.
    { 3 } - neither true nor false.

Emotivism thinks that moral judgments don't make truth claims, and hence aren't true or false.

3 is correct!

Suppose that Hitler, who likes the killing of Jews, says "The killing of Jews is good." On emotivism, Hitler's statement is

    { 1 } - true.
    { 2 } - false.
    { 3 } - neither true nor false.

Emotivism thinks that moral judgments don't make truth claims, and hence aren't true or false.

On subjectivism, Hitler's statement would be true (since it just means that he likes the killing of Jews). Emotivism at least avoids this implausible result.
