I don't know anything about programming for mobile devices, but option 2
gives you the best disconnectedness. The only question is, what if there's
a problem in the middle -- are all the answers lost? I would probably
choose option 3, but only if it didn't have performance problems. If
retrieving the info dynamically didn't have as good of performance as
option 2, I would choose option 2.
Good luck.
