The third option is formatted correctly:
"2. For a detailed account of the criticisms King faced for ending the march, see Garrow 403–04."
Why: it uses the footnote number + period, begins with a capital letter, and presents the citation and page range clearly. The others have flaws (missing space/punctuation after the number, incorrect sentence capitalization, or incorrect comma/spacing before the page numbers).
