Correct Answer: Blow up
Solution : The second option is the correct answer as "blow up" means to destroy something using explosives, and it fits perfectly in the sentence conveying that the terrorist unsuccessfully tried to destroy the bridge using explosives.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
Blow over : When a situation or problem gradually becomes less important or less intense and eventually goes away or is forgotten.
Blow out : To extinguish or put out a flame, such as a candle, by blowing on it forcefully.
Blowdown : When strong winds or a storm cause something, like a tree or a structure, to fall or be knocked over due to the force of the wind.
So, the complete sentence is "The terrorist made a vain attempt to blow up the bridge".
