Hey Sergey, the only correct answer is number 2. This is because superlatives almost always need the definite article. Example:
He is the fastest runner.
That is the most difficult problem.
It's the biggest building in the city.
I hope that helps!

2 because "the" shows you are talking about a particular person.
