The answer is (1). Quantum mechanics views electron orbitals not as fixed circular paths or defined boundaries, but as probablility distributions that represent the probability of finding an electron at any point in space around the nucleus. For simplicity, discrete "boundaries" are often drawn enclosing the area where electrons should be found 90% of the time.
