Correct Answer: jaywalk


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

Jaywalk specifically refers to the act of crossing a street carelessly or in a way that violates traffic rules, such as not using a designated crosswalk. It involves pedestrians crossing streets at undesignated locations, often without regard to traffic signals.

The meanings of other options are as follows:

  • A catwalk is a narrow walkway, often elevated, used for fashion shows or modelling.
  • Wander means to move about without a fixed course.
  • Stroll means to walk in a leisurely or relaxed manner.

Therefore, the correct answer is jaywalk.
