Correct Answer: Combated


Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option.

Combated means to take action to fight against or prevent something, which is the appropriate word in the context of addressing serious threats to the environment through organic cultivation.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

1 . Hastened: This means to make something happen more quickly, which is not the intended meaning in this context.

2. Impeded : This means to hinder or obstruct, which is the opposite of what is desired in the context of combating threats to the environment.

3 . Aggravated : This means to make a problem or situation worse, which is not the desired outcome when addressing environmental threats.

So, the complete sentence would be: "Serious threat to our ecology and environment can be combated with organic cultivation."
