What action should the referee take?

John takes a shot from just outside the penalty ARC. The ball hits the crossbar, bursts open and plop to the ground, where it is picked up by the keeper just outside of the goal area.
1. A drop ball at the spot of the kick
2. A drop ball on the goal area line nearest to the point where the first ball HIT the cross bar
3. A drop ball at the spot where the keeper picked up the ball

A drop ball on the goal area line nearest to the point where the first ball hit the cross bar-law 2 - if the ball bursts or becomes defective during the course of a match, the match is stopped and restarted by dropping the replacement ball at the place where the first ball became defective,

A drop ball on the goal area line nearest to the point where the first ball hit the cross bar-law 2
unless play was stopped inside the goal area, in which case the drop is on the goal area line, parallel to the goal line, at the point nearest to where the original ball was located when play was stopped.since the ball became defective when hitting the crossbar, which is inside the goal area, the drop takes place on the goal area line.
