Its obviously number one. How can they hold the trumpet while blowing if not in the beak, mouth or whatever its called.

Your lips do important work in making a trumpet play. Dolphins don’t have the fine control over their lips that would be necessary. Maybe the blowhole does?

Idk about dolphins, but I really don’t have great control over my blowhole…

I mean, you toot with your mouth, not your nose, so 1.

When I toot, it’s neither with my mouth nor my nose.

A dolphin would likely play something more like a trombone with an articulating system of pipes that could be played through vigorous contortions of the body. Think playing a trombone but with a hula hooping/swimming motion. Perhaps a small lever could extend out to the dolphin flipper that would allow nuanced fine pitch control with lateral contortions of the dolphin’s flipper.
