Correct Answer: around him


Solution : The fourth option is correct.

Explanation:
Around him indicates that the whispers were surrounding or encircling the person as he sat between Rob and Ravi. This phrase suggests that the whispers were coming from various directions in close proximity to the person.

The other options such as revolving him , surrounding him , rotating him, do not fit in this context.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be, "He heard whispers all around him as he sat eating between Rob and Ravi".
