Correct Answer: Happening in a lot of places or to a lot of people


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

The idiom left, right, and centre is used to describe something that is happening or being done in a widespread or indiscriminate manner, often suggesting that it's occurring everywhere or to everyone without exception. It implies that something is happening extensively or broadly, without any particular direction or limitation, which is quite similar to what is given in the second option.

Therefore, the most appropriate meaning is: happening in a lot of places or to a lot of people.
