This one is correct:

Thw word around is a preposition and needs an object.

Yes, but not in this particular sentence.

Here are some examples with an adverb.

She's been around a lot lately.

The artist would walk around, carrying his easel, canvas and brushes, until he found the best view.

He estimated that the cost would be around $100.

A: Are you interested in buying one of our vases?

B: No, I'm just looking around.
