1 is correct!

Kant thinks that we should

Kant says that we have a duty (at least an indirect one) to promote our own happiness. An unhappy person would likely get discouraged and neglect other duties.

There's a moral worth in pursuing our own happiness when we're motivated by duty (and not just by natural inclination).
