Option 2, because the one about Clinton realigning the map is true.

It really isn't (see: 1988, 2000, 2008, 2016).

Um it is 1992 brought the west coast to democratic fold and brought states like Illinois Vermont new hamshire ,Maine, Michigan , New Jersey to democratic fold

That wasn't because of Clinton. Any other Democrat likely would have won those states as well, the trends were already evident in 1988.
I am not certain that another Democrat would have carried Ohio, Nevada, Montana, Colorado, Arkansas, Tennessee, Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky, and Missouri the way Clinton did.  That's 94 Electoral Votes, which would have put the Democrats at 276 EV.  In such a scenario, NH and NJ would have been battlegrounds.
