Nearly first option, but I would never use it for cases when someone is _positively_ surprised and would use it for cases when someone is negatively surprised in a way that causes them to do nothing, even if not acting is a considered choice (as opposed to just a result of being shocked/confused/exposed to a very novel situation).
