Who should know about the page title in Asp.Net MVC?

Should the Model, View or the Controller be the one that knows the page title?

Option 1

Use the model to store the page title (this makes the model more of a view-model):

public class SomeModel
{
    string Title { get; set; }
}

Then the view can simply set the title accordingly

<title>@Model.Title</title>

Option 2

The view knows its own title:

@{
     ViewBag.Title = "Some Title";
}

and somewhere in view or the default layout its being used:

<title>@ViewBag.Title</title>

Option 3

Set the title from the controller

ViewBag.Title = "Some Title"

And then use it from the view

<title>@ViewBag.Title</title>

Which is the best approach (assuming i have a common layout for the different pages) ?
