Help. Losing my mind.

Cu+HNO3 -> What?

I have 3 theories:
1) 3Cu + 8HNO3 -> 3Cu(NO3)2 + 4H2O + 2NO seems most viable
2) Cu + HNO3 -> CuNO3 + H2 too easy to be true.
3) Cu + HNO3 -> no reaction, since Copper is lower on the Activity Series of Metals than Hydrogen, and thus will not replace the hydrogen in the nitric acid.

Also, thanks.

Thanks, I just understood. 3) is why 2) is not possible, but 1) and the one from Wikipedia is. Sorry for being a retard.
Again, many thanks.
