It vs there vs they

Hi everyone.

Could you tell me which of them are possible and why?

1: They are just five questions, what's taking you so long.

2: It's just five questions, what's taking you so long. (I don't know why it sounds correct to my ears)

3: There are just five questions, what's taking you so long.

Thanks!

(2) and (3) are both OK. (1) seems unusual. I would not say it is completely impossible, but I do not recommend that you use it yo
