Answer : 3. "in spite of"
Explanation :

The correct sentence should be:

I couldn't sleep because I was very tired.

Explanation: The phrase "in case of being very tired" is awkward and not commonly used in English. Instead, you can use the phrase "because I was very tired" to clearly express the reason for not being able to sleep.
