Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .
The blank can be filled with the gerund form of the verb "happen", that is, "happening", as it accurately describes that the action is about to happen.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: A haze of panic blurred my vision; something terrible was close to happening .
