Detailed Solution

Since net external torque on the man is zero, his angular momentum remains conserved.now Angular momentumL= Iω = ConstantWhen the man spreads out his hands, his moment of inertia I increases, hence ω decreases.Also rotation K.E = L2 / 2 I, So if I increases, K.E decreases.Hence, option - (3) is right.
