Put money into her 401(k) to make up for the down payment in sixty years.

Purchase a $1,000 asset that she can sell for $5,000 after three years.

Reason: an intermediate-term goal is typically 1–10 years. Buying an asset to sell in three years is an investment aligned with that timeframe. The credit card option is short-term borrowing, $50/month is insufficient to reach $4,800 in three years, and a 401(k) is for long-term retirement savings (not suitable for a 3-year goal).
