Correct Answer: To be forced to use one's last and weakest resource


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

The idiom, scrape the barrel is used when you've exhausted all other options and have to resort to your last and often less favourable choice or resource. It's not about trying to find something, hiding something, or using all possible ways; it's specifically about using your last and weakest resource.
