Linear unbiased estimator with smallest variance

Let X1,X2,X3X_1,X_2,X_3 be a random sample from a distribution with the probability density function

f(x∣θ)={1θe−xθ,x>0, 0,otherwise,θ>0.f(x|\theta)=\begin{cases}\dfrac1\theta e^{-\frac x\theta}, & x>0,\ 0, & \text{otherwise,}\end{cases}\quad\theta>0.

Which of the following estimators of θ\theta has the smallest variance for all θ>0\theta>0?
