Correct Answer: (4)


Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option.

Explanation: The original phrase "multiplies over" effectively conveys the idea that the amount increases or grows over a period of time.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

'Within" suggests a time frame or limit, but it doesn't convey the same meaning as "multiplies over".

"In" indicates location or a specific point in time or space, which is not what the sentence is describing.

"By" is a preposition that indicates the means or method by which something is done.

Therefore, the sentence is, "The amount multiplies over a period of time."
