The correct option is 3. The sentence means 'Mori-san always boasts to everyone that her own pet is the cutest.' 自慢する (じまんする) means 'to boast' or 'to brag', which perfectly fits the context of proudly talking about one's pet.

• 1期待して (きたいして) comes from 期待する (きする, to expect or look forward to). You don't 'expect' that your pet is cute to others.
• 2応援して (おうえんして) comes from 応援する (おうえんする, to cheer for or support). This doesn't fit the context of talking about how cute one's pet is.
• 4賛成して (さんせいして) comes from 賛成する (さんせいする, to agree). You don't 'agree' that your pet is the cutest; you assert it.

• 自慢じまんする — to boast, to brag

• 応援おうえんする — to cheer, to support
• 賛成さんせいする — to agree
