Say anything you want.
I don't think people usually answer "What's up" with "Hi" though. Since, what's up is so casual, we usually say, "hey" instead of hi.
But really you could say #2. That's THE most popular reply. But sometimes, when people ask you what's up, they really want to know what going on in our life, so tell them!
Example:
Friend: Hey, Christa. What's up?
Me: Nothing much. I have a job interview today.
-or-
Me: I'm about to go eat. Wanna come?

haha, stick with number 2 :) Number 3 is not very funny!
also remember, this phrase can indicate concern as well as being a casual greeting:
'what's up? (because you look like there is a problem)'

Funny. You just say what's up back.
