Detailed Solution

Non-Aryans is the correct answer.
The prevailing Indological approach in the Rig Veda treated the "dasas" and "dasyus" as the original Indians who were "non-Aryans" as opposed to "Aryans".
Dasha: He speaks in a "Mishra" way. Before the Vedic Aryans, the Dasas and Dasyus were early Indo-Aryan immigrants to the subcontinent.
So option 3 is correct.
