Surely the third option means that it's a natural language written in the plain without any kind of cipher?


I meant the third option to be pretty broad, so yes, it could mean a natural language written in the plain (with glyphs that may be unfamiliar to us but not necessarily to them), but it would include other kinds of cryptography (such as steganography in which the overall shapes or the darks and lights in the inks, or other forms of hiding information are used rather than substituting glyphs for letters).
