If ATC advises that radar service is terminated when the pilot is departing Class C airspace, the transponder should be set to code

When radar service is terminated by ATC, you switch to the standard VFR squawk code, which is 1200. This code signals that you are operating under VFR without ATC radar identification, which is appropriate once you leave the radar-controlled Class C environment. The other codes listed aren’t used for this situation: they have special meanings (for example, emergency or military-use codes) or are not the normal non-radar VFR code. So the correct choice is 1200.
