3. is incorrect. Otherwise, as Ksenya said, it depends whether it is a person (who) or a thing (what).

If it is an animal, then use "what."
(As a side note, technically, it would have been "whom" if it were a person, since it would be the object of "hunting." But in practice, few people would say it.)

For whom is the wind hunting in the sky?
