GR tell us that clocks run slower in a gravitational field. If you take two clocks, one on the surface of Earth, and one orbiting 100km above, and check what time they say a year later what would you see?

GR tell us that clocks run slower in a gravitational field. If you take two clocks, one on the surface of Earth, and one orbiting
100km above, and check what time they say a year later what would you see?
The clocks would show the same time.
The clock high above Earth would have run behind (show less time had passed than) the clock on the surface.
The clock high above Earth would show no time had passed at all.
The clock high above Earth would have run ahead of (show more time had passed than) the clock on the surface.
