Correct Answer: lunged


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

In the context provided, the action described involves movement towards the subject. Lunged is a verb that conveys a sudden forward movement, which aligns with the scenario of the thing moving across the cellar towards the person. The other options do not accurately capture the sense of a sudden, aggressive movement.
