    Explanation:
    • Option 1 is correctly matched: A wandering mendicant, vagrant, recluse, an ascetic who has renounced the world.
    • Option 2 is incorrectly matched: Shramana means “seeker, one who performs acts of austerity, ascetic”. Shramana is a wandering monk in certain austere traditions of ancient India, including Jainism, Buddhism, and ajvika religion.
    • Option 3 is correctly matched: Upasaka are from the Sanskrit and Pali words for "attendant". This is the title of followers of Buddhism (or, historically, of Gautama Buddha) who are not monks, nuns, or novice monastics in a Buddhist order, and who undertake certain vows. They are lay followers of Buddhism. 

    Hence option 2nd is correct.
