A far cry means something that is quite different from the current situation, such that it cannot be implemented in the present scenario. An impracticable idea means something that is not feasible in the current situation and hence cannot be implemented. Here, 'out of reach' things may or may not be different in nature, which is the actual meaning of far cry. Hence, option 3 is correct.
