Option 1.
The young man came to Christ with the intent to argue, and try to prove Christ wrong. He didn't come to find out the truth, or to be taught. Yes, he was following the commandments, but his heart wasn't in the right place. When it came down to it, he couldn't give up everything to know Christ. He promised that we would become judges on high, and that we would inherit everlasting life.
I know that God will not ask me to do anything that I am NOT able to do. He won't allow me to be tempted with something that I cannot withstand. Even though it might be hard, if I put Him first in my life, I will be blessed beyond anything I can imagine.
It doesn't matter how long we have been members of the church, we all have a chance to receive Eternal Life. We can always repent. We all have pasts, but with Christ's atonement we are all able to have the same reward!
