I agree with Mena. I'm trying to think how I can help explain why #1 is incorrect. I'm a native speaker but not an English teacher. The part of the sentence that sounds incorrect is "is to you". "Is for you" can be used.
Examples:
The best option is FOR you to either do A or B.
The best option is FOR you to do either A or B.
Those don't sound incorrect, they sound OK but it feels more natural to put "is" after "you".

The first sentence is not grammatically correct in English. The second and third mean the same, but the second sounds the most natural.
