The correct answer would be option 2: " Roger is representing himself as a loyal servant to Edna's family, a watchful eye". In the excerpt, Roger says that he spend 100 years reading a book to pass the time as he kept an eye on Edna, he was there to protect her and the one thing he couldn´t avoid was something beyond his capabilities (and it did not affect Edna).

Roger did not interact with Edna, nor does he mention any feelings of love, and he does not say he was there to stop her from leaving, therefore options 1, 3 and 4 are incorrect.
