They began testing different chemicals on E. coli to probe gene regulation (option 2).
Jacob and Monod used inducers, repressors, and mutant strains to measure enzyme activity and map regulatory interactions in the lac and other operons — genome sequencing came much later and microscopy of cell division was not how operons were defined.
