It’s means it is or it has e.g. “It’s a nice day”. The possessive form is “Its” e.g. “The cat hurt its paw”.

So only option 2 or 3 can be the answer. But when the Earth is spoken of as a physical body or as a planet, occupying space-time, it's often capitalised and takes the article “The” before it. So, option 2 is eliminated. Option 3 is the correct answer.

Thus, the correct sentence is: Emptying half the Earth of its humans is the only way to save the planet.
