Leave your front wheels pointing straight ahead.

Turn the wheels toward the curb.

None of the above.

Explanation
When parking facing uphill, it's important to ensure your car won't roll into traffic if the brakes fail. Turning the wheels away from the curb means if the car starts to roll backward, the front wheels will catch on the curb, preventing the car from rolling into the street.
