Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The correct answer is the third option.

This is the correct choice, as "cope with" is the right phrasal verb for dealing with or managing a challenging or rushed situation. It accurately conveys the intended meaning.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

Cope by : It is not a suitable replacement in this context. It does not convey the intended meaning of the sentence
Cope up to : It is not a valid expression in this context and does not convey the intended meaning.

Therefore, the sentence should be "He could not cope with the heavy rush".
