Option 2 : look for

The correct answer is Option (2) i.e. look for

Look out (Phrasal Verb): be vigilant and take notice.
Look after (Phrasal Verb): take care of
Look forward to (Phrasal Verb): await eagerly
Look for (Phrasal Verb): to hope to get something that you want or need.
The sentence implies that the person (subject) is in search of the circumstances they want. Therefore, the only phrasal verb that goes well with the context of the sentence is 'look for'.
Hence, option 2 is correct.

Correct sentence: The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they cannot find them, make them.

Some other phrasal verbs with the verb 'look'

Look ahead: to think about and plan the future.
Look away: to turn your eyes away from someone or something that you were looking at
Look back: to think about something that happened in the past
Look down on: to think something or someone is inferior
