Why each option

Excel Services Application does not support cross-farm publishing in SharePoint 2013 and must be created locally in Farm2, unlike the other three service applications which do.

ASearch Service Application

Search Service Application supports cross-farm publishing, so Farm2 can be configured to consume the Search Service from Farm1 without creating a local instance.

BUser Profile Service Application

User Profile Service Application supports cross-farm service sharing, allowing Farm2 to consume user profile data and social features from Farm1.

CManaged Metadata Service

Managed Metadata Service supports cross-farm consumption, enabling Farm2 to connect to Farm1's term store and content type hub directly.

DExcel Services ApplicationCorrect

Excel Services Application is not a publishable service application in SharePoint 2013, meaning it cannot be shared from Farm1 and consumed by Farm2 across farm boundaries. Because all other service applications listed - Search, User Profile, and Managed Metadata - do support cross-farm publishing, Excel Services is the one service that must be provisioned locally on Farm2.
