Hey does Odysseus do when he meets the king Alcinous and Queen Arete?

He introduces himself as Odysseus and asks for help returning home to Ithaca.

He informs them that he is in love with their daughter, Nausicaa.

He flings himself around Arêtes knees and begs for passage home.

He asks if he can compete in the athletic games that will be played after the feast.

I believe the correct answer is the third option - He flings himself around Aretes knees and begs for passage home. 
He comes to their kingdom, drops to his knees and asks them if they can help him return home to Ithaca. The first option is incorrect because he didn't introduce himself - he only said that he is not a god (which they thought he was) but rather a mere mortal.
