Actually, I can't choose an appropriate option as there is no one in the proposed variants.
"His work is done..." or "He has done his work...".
But not offered options.
Excuse me!

The answer is 3. "His work done, he went to his friend's house."
The first part of the sentence is called a participle clause, and simply adds information to the main clause. This is a smooth an economical way of adding more information to a sentence.
A longer version would read, "Now that his work was done, he went to his friend's house."
