Je ne sais pas

It was not until the second round of negotiations that the parties reached a settlement.

This is the best choice. The use of "round" here means "a turn" or "try", or "stage". In sporting matches, games and formal processes, intervals are often called "rounds". The term is used not only in sporting contexts but in business situations as well. Example: The two boxers fought seven rounds before the fight was stopped.

Icarus always rounds up to the nearest whole number when doing his calculations.

This is not the best choice. The phrasal verb "to round up" means to count a fraction or decimal as a a "whole" number. Example: The number 1.85 can be "rounded" up to 2.

Polly made the rounds at the Mayor's gala party saying hello to everyone important.

This is not the best choice. The idiom "to make the rounds" indicates the process of socializing and exchanging pleasantries with people (at the party). Example: The politician made the rounds at the state fair reminding everyone to vote for him in the upcoming election. This use of "rounds" is quite different than Dr.Badguy's use of the word.

Bruno told Polly to round up the Delavigne employees for an emergency meeting.

This is not the best choice. In this context The phrasal verb "to round up" means to "gather" or "bring together" people or animals. Example: The cowboys spent all afternoon rounding up the cows from the southern meadow.
