From my point of view, the best answer was the second one for many reasons. First of all, because it relies on the fact that what the mother and daughter are experiencing is just part of the process of child development. Second one, because it's important that the mother can adapt her habits and needs to her daughter needs, but also take in mind what she really needs as a women and mother and follow her instinct. Every person is different and therefore, people need to act and take decisions according to their own reality and needs.

I agree with your opinion. I think that the second answer is the most suitable because every child is different and it's very important to respect their pace of development.
I was in this situation with my son when he was about one year old. Actually his clingingness started since he was four month old. I think this is his caracter. Anyway I remember doing more or less that the answer 2 suggests. I would let him cry only a little sometimes. When I was preparing dinner, he used to be in a very bad mood probably because he was hungry. Then I would pick him up and I would went on cooking or my husband would cook so that I could take care of the baby.
