Merge sort complexity is $\Theta(n \lg n)$, and so we need $10^6 \lg 10^6 \approx 20 \times 10^6$ and assuming the constant factor is less than 5, number of instructions would be less than $10^8$ and can be run within a second.
Worst case complexity of insertion sort is $O(n^2)$ and to sort $10^6$ elements it needs $10^{12}$ operations and with $10^8$ operations per second this would need $10^4$ seconds = 2 hours 46 minutes.
Now, best case complexity of insertion sort is $O(n)$. So, "always" in options 1 and 2 make them false.
Similarly worst case of quick sort is $O(n^2)$ and this makes option 4 false.
So, option 3 is the answer.
