Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. He don't like spicy food

What is wrong: The verb don't does not agree with the singular subject He.

Grammatical concept: For third-person singular subjects, does not (doesn't) is used instead of do not (don't).

Incorrectness of the concept in context: Using don't with He is grammatically incorrect.
