Correct Answer: this year


Solution : The fourth option is correct.

  • The use of this year is appropriate in the context of the sentence, which discusses a specific year that is currently ongoing.
  • Those years and that year refer to periods of time in the past, which are not relevant to the sentence.
  • The year is too vague and does not provide enough information about which year is being referred to.

Therefore, the correct answer is this year .
