Key Points

The word "wake" means to stop sleeping; to rouse from sleep. (जागना)
- Example: I usually wake up at 6 AM every day.
"woke" is the past tense of "wake," which means it indicates an action that has already happened. (जाग गया)
- Example: She woke up early to catch the sunrise.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2)
