The null hypothesis in ANOVA one-way classification, the study of the variances due to k different sources, is:

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2018 (Tier 2) Statistics Previous Year Paper (22-feb-2018)
The correct answer is

H 0 ∶ μ1 = μ 2= ⋯ = μ k

One-way ANOVA compares the means of \(k\) populations using a single classifying factor. The null hypothesis asserts that the factor has no effect on the mean, i.e. all population means are identical:

\[H_{0}:\ \mu_{1}=\mu_{2}=\dots=\mu_{k}\]

The alternative is that at least one pair of means differs. Options involving \(\sigma\) describe assumptions (homoscedasticity), not the null on means; the "at least one pair" form belongs to the alternative hypothesis. Hence Option 1 is correct.
