Hello Sergio and Everyone -
Thank you for your questions and your patience. Your options actually  
have different meanings...Very interesting to look at!

Lucyna is correct that Option 1 is the best if you want to do three  
movements with a single touch each time. We write single contact  
symbols most of the time, when we have multiple arrows, because the  
arrows give the information that it is multiple.

And three small touches means something else. It means tiny little  
touches that do not have big movement...

Please see attached diagram:
