Question about Father's name in Passport and B1/B2 visa

My father is citizen of India. He was issued a B1/B2 visa in India in Aug 2009. 

His name on his passport in Aug 2009: 
Surname : (blank) 
Given Name : AA BB CC 

His name on his B1/B2 visa in Aug 2009: 
Surname : CC 
Given Name : AA BB 

He has made five trips (duration : 2 months) between 2009-2017 without any issues. The visits are about visiting family and maybe a bit of travel. He renewed his passport in 2017 and his name appears the same as his previous passport. He is currently applying to renew his B1/B2 visa and the DS-160 form requires him to enter a surname. 

I see the following two options: 

Option #1: Copy all his names under "Given name" to his surname and say FNU for his given names in DS-160 as below 
Surname : AA BB CC 
Given Name : FNU 

Option #2: Use the order of names in his previous visa: 
Surname : CC 
Given Name : AA BB 

Questions: 
1) Which option is the correct one? 

2) If Option #1 is fine, will there be issues if he is sponsored for a green card in the future and will need a SSN etc? If there will be issues, is it okay to wait until that time to change the names in his passport? 

Thank you
