Among the options you gave, the one that best fits historic, orthodox Christianity is:

- 100% divine and 100% human.

Explanation in brief:
- The Council of Chalcedon (451 AD) formulated the classic Christian teaching: Jesus is one person in two complete natures (the hypostatic union) — fully God and fully man, without mixing, confusion, division, or separation. That means he possesses fully the divine nature and fully the human nature at once.
- It is not a matter of percentages (50/50 or 40/60) nor of being “more” one than the other; orthodox theology treats each nature as whole while united in one person.
- Other historical views (Arianism, Nestorianism, Monophysitism, Docetism, etc.) differed from this formulation and were rejected by the churches that adopted Chalcedon.

If you want, I can explain what the Chalcedonian language means in more detail or outline how different Christian traditions interpret Jesus’ natures.
