Explanation:

- The sentence discusses a committee's action regarding a wildlife clearance for a train corridor that affects certain wildlife areas.

- Option 1, A-F: "Alienated" and "admonish" are not suitable. Alienated doesn't fit the action of granting clearance, and admonish (which means to warn or reprimand) doesn't convey encroachment.

- Option 2, B-D and A-E: "Estranged" doesn't fit as it means alienated and removed, "encroaches" is correct but pair A-E ("alienated-repelled") is irrelevant here. There’s no sense of clearing or affecting areas.

- Option 3, C-F: "Accorded" fits the context of granting clearance, but "admonish" describes scolding, not encroachment.

- Option 4, C-D: "Accorded" fits granting clearance, and "encroaches" fits the context of impacting wildlife areas.

- Option 5, B-E: Like Option 2, "estranged" is incorrect for clearance, "repelled" is incorrect for affecting areas.
