Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The correct choice is the second option , "his desire for power".

It specifies that his desire was for power, which fits the context of the sentence and conveys the intended meaning effectively.

The other options change the meaning of the sentence, and hence, they do not improve it.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, " His desire for power brought about his downfall."
