Thanks

" After all, that's what you'll probably be describing. " That is, you're happy that you , and not someone else, was in that role. Your third option could come into play if in describing the experience, you choose to mention that part of your satisfaction in fulfilling the role of leader came from succeeding in obtaining results with "your" group - which I should think would be a good thing to mention.

Trying to anticipate the thinking of the writer of the question, I'd say "satisfied with the duties." After all, that's what you'll probably be describing.

Hi,
I would take the third option as what the person is asking about. He or she wants you to talk about a time when you were successful as a team leader.
It's not well-worded on the application form.

"It's not well-worded"
Yes, I agree with you.
Usually, role = position
Eg, my role was a leader
Eg, my role was a CEO
Eg, my role was a cleaner

In my experience, "role" is a very general term.
Jack played a role in getting the legislation passed.
Betty landed a small role in the class play.
