Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

  • Stopped means 'to make something stationary' and should be replaced with apprehended, which means 'to arrest somebody'.
  • Compromised means that something has been exposed to risk, harm, or loss of reputation, often due to making concessions or mistakes.
  • Comprehended means understood or grasped intellectually.

Therefore, the correct statement would be: "The fugitive was finally apprehended at the airport."
