The first.

See the Notation Reference, section 1.1.1, `Relative Octave Entry'
which says:

  If the preceding item is a chord, the first note of the chord is
  used as the reference point for the octave placement of a following
  note or chord. Inside chords, the next note is always relative to
  the preceding one.
