Unless the person attributed to saying "hello there" in the sentence is God or some other type of deity, then sentence number three is the more correct one. However, as Amber points out, the comma should come after the end quotation mark and not before it to actually make the sentence correct.

None of the above.
"Hello there", he said, smiling, as he walked closer.
And I do not like the term, Nazis, in any form or context.
