According to a table in my physics book, the mass of an electron is 9.11 * 10^-31kg. The mass of a proton is 1.67265 * 10^-27 kg.

Ratio = 9.11 * 10^-31 ÷ 1.67265 * 10^-27

This is approximately 0.0005. If you invert this number, this is approximately 1836. So as a fraction this is approximately 1/1836. This is approximately 1/2000. So 3 is the correct answer.

Mass of an Electron: (9.11 * 10^ -31) Kg
Mass of a Proton: (1.67 * 10^-27) Kg

Mp / Me = ~2000 so the answer is 3.) 1/2000

1 :: 1836

ANS 3 is closest.
