Answer

アパートから大学まで十五分くらいかかります is correct since subject is 'it' in the sentence. The verb of 'take' is relating '15 minutes'. Therefore, かかる is the best word to be used for ths sentence. 
however, if the subject in this sentence is わたしは, you have to chosse sentence 3 because わたしは is omitted from that.
（わたしは）アパートから大学まで十五分ぐらい歩いて行きます。
