Option 1 as you are doing and control that right hand lane. Be cautious of oncoming traffic. Too many may try and accelerate across your turn.

Oh and don’t react to the honking. Show them that you are in control and honking achieves nothing.

Resolutely on topic
I’m always tempted if honked from behind to slowly and deliberately dismount and check my bike over in front of them, presuming that they are alerting me to an urgent safety matter.
In reality I try to give them a smile and a cheery wave and carry on as before. I like to think my days of getting angry with impatience rather than dangerous driving are largely behind me.

There are some junctions that are just nasty/badly designed/not thought of cyclists. Alternative routes may be best in these cases, but sometimes there is no other choice.
Option 1 as all above is how I too approach them. Keep sharp eyes on the traffic from the left, hold your wide position and keep up with the traffic if you can.

I almost forgot...when I've indicated initially to pull into the middle of the lane approaching a right turn mini roundabout, if the car behind has slowed down to let me make this manoeuvre, I'll give them a quick wave of thanks. Costs nowt, keeps everyone chilled

I'll decline suggesting a different hand gesture as I know much it upsets me, when I am the recipientI would wave thanks at him, the fooker is on the wrong side of the road...
