We can answer this question by working through the answers. In the third option we have an adjective + noun which is conscience mind. However, it is not given correctly because conscience is a noun. The second option is not correct. The correct word must have been conscience. In the first option, instead of conscience, the correct usage must have been conscious. We can observe it in the last option, as well which is the correct option.
