The meanings of the given words are as follows:
Recede: (of a quality, feeling, or possibility) gradually diminish/decrease, to move back, to retreat.

  2. Increase: to become larger or greater.
  3. Wane: a gradual decrease in power, value, intensity.

Clearly, 'wane' and 'recede' are words with similar meanings.
Thus, the correct answer is Option 3.
