I will go for the option 3.
My question, Is direct upgrading from 9.04 ti 9.10 will lead to any
problem like crash or data loss. Do I need to install the apps again>?

are included in 9.10, that are not in 9.04, then it will make sense to
upgrade immediately. Otherwise, you need to consider the implications
of staying at 9.04.
The most important consideration is that Ubuntu provides migration
utilities that will perform an upgrade from one release to the next (in
your case 9.04 to 9.10), or from one LTS release to the next (e.g. from
8.04 to 10.04). Ubuntu does not support an upgrade that bypasses an
intermediate release.
This philosophy means that the easiest method to upgrade is to either:
1: keep to LTS releases
OR
2: upgrade to each new release as it becomes available
OR
3: do a clean install of the new release
Obviously, options 1 and 2 will preserve configuration information but
option 3 will lose all configuration (except that user data, including
configuration, may be preserved if /home is on its own partition and
that partition is not formatted).
