Answer: The second option

Step-by-step explanation: The punctuation rules for a sentence don't apply to statements between parentheses within a sentence; that is why in the first option, the first word in the parentheses should not have been capitalized, and in the third option, there shouldn't be a period after the last word in the parentheses.
