Detailed Solution

When two soluble ionic compounds react to produce a precipitate by exchanging their ions, such reactions are precipitation reactions.

One such reaction is: 

Hydrochloric acid and copper carbonate combine to generate copper (II) chloride and carbonic acid, which break down into carbon dioxide and water very quickly. (It breaks down almost immediately).

Due to the copper (II) ions present, this solution turns blue.

CuCO3+2HClCuCl2+CO2+H2O

When potassium iodide and copper chloride combine, potassium chloride and copper iodide are both produced. Cu2I2 appears as a white precipitate.

CuCl2+2KICuI2+2KCl

2CuI2Cu2I2+I2 

Therefore, the white precipitate is Cu2I2

So, option 1) is correct.
