The correct word here is 'describe.’ It means a broad explanation of something. This is about the diary where the girl write everything and described everything during the years she hid in the annex. So option 1 is correct. Inscribe means ‘write or carve (words or symbols) on something.’ This word is not used when something is written on paper. This is generally used for writing in hard surfaces. So option 1 is correct. 

Prescribe: advice

Specify: mention

Decreed: ordered
