Which condition is described as the wheel top tilting inward?

Camber describes how the wheel tilts from vertical. When the top of the tire tilts toward the inside of the vehicle, the wheel has negative camber. Positive camber would have the top tilt outward away from the car. Toe in and toe out refer to whether the tires point toward or away from each other at the front, not the vertical tilt of the wheels, so they describe a different condition. The described situation matches negative camber.
