I live in Central Delhi. Where do you _____ in Delhi?

The correct answer is Option (3) → put up
A phrasal verb is a verb joined with a small word such as up, out or together. The two words together have a new meaning.
The speaker says where he lives and asks where the other person stays in Delhi, so "Where do you put up in Delhi?" fits.
