This is a correct choice. "To be spotted (stealing a car)" means to be seen taking it. Stephanie Irving tells Moira and Brent "I've spotted a mob of kangaroos", meaning that she has seen a mob of kangaroos. Here the verb is used in the passive sense. Another example: The suspect was spotted talking to a known criminal.
This is an incorrect choice. The verb "to spot" cannot directly replace the verb "to see", and isn't used to describe one's ability to see. A better choice in this sentence would be: "I'm having trouble seeing" or "I'm having trouble focusing".
This is a correct choice. The verb "to spot" means to see, notice or identify something that is often distant or hard to see. Stephanie tells Moira and Brent "I've spotted a mob of kangaroos", meaning that she has observed or identified them.
