2. can take action independent of instinct
3. has a brain
Which sounds the best? I'm between 2 and 3, but I'm leaning towards two.

These all fall short for me. I'd say consciousness is simply awareness. 1. Something could be aware of something without feeling anything, so it's not the same as sentience. 2. Something's actions could be completely dependent on instinct and yet it still be aware of what it is doing - while not being aware of its instincts. And finally, 3. Something could physically have a brain and yet still be completely unaware.
