I have to agree, "one of my friends" is the correct one.

It is ONE OF MY FRIENDS.

After ONE OF, we normally add a plural noun.

We can also use ONE OF with a singular noun when we are referring to a group.

e.g. You can ask one of the staff to do this for you.

Take note: Whenever we use ONE OF, it is followed by a definite noun (i.e., determiner + noun)

e.g. my friends, the friends, their friends, those friends, etc.

It has to be "a". Otherwise, there would be no point in using "one of" as a determiner.

Yes, first one is the right answer, today, I learned to use correct framing of a sentence.
I will encourage all my friends to join this forum as, this is the right place to learn such small things that are used in daily communication.

Thanks
