The sentence below in which WATCH functions as a VERB is Option 3. Please watch the inaugural ceremony.​                                                

Explanation:

• In English, "conversion" refers to a common process of changing a word into different parts of speech.

• Thus, many words can be used in more than one part of speech. i.e. the words can act as nouns and verbs as well.

• Verbing is one such conversion that refers to the act of changing a noun into a verb.

• Verbing is more common in business communications that makes the conversation easy & to the point.

• For example, here in the given sentence, 1 & 2, the "watch" is used as a noun referring to a small device or clock that shows time.

• But in sentence 3,) "watch" is used as a verb which means to look or observe over some time, especially to notice with attention.

Hence statement 3 is the appropriate answer.
