What is your answer?

The formula of universal law theorem says:

    { 1 } - Follow the rules that would be most useful for society to adopt.
    { 2 } - Perform an act of sort A (e.g., an act of lying) only if you want everyone to perform acts of sort A.
    { 3 } - Act only as you're willing for anyone to act in similar circumstances -- regardless of imagined variations of time or person.
    { 4 } - Act according to your conscience.
    { 5 } - Act according that the law that the government has prescribed.

3 is correct!

The formula of universal law theorem says:

    { 1 } - Follow the rules that would be most useful for society to adopt.
    { 2 } - Perform an act of sort A (e.g., an act of lying) only if you want everyone to perform acts of sort A.
    { 3 } - Act only as you're willing for anyone to act in similar circumstances -- regardless of imagined variations of time or person.
    { 4 } - Act according to your conscience.
    { 5 } - Act according that the law that the government has prescribed.

The formula of universal law is a generalization of the golden rule; but it also includes ideas from the self-regard and future-regard theorems.
