    E

    independently

    Incorrect Answer

    unknowingly

    Incorrect Answer

    willy-nilly

    Correct Answer

    inadvertently

    Incorrect Answer

    proved

    Incorrect Answer
    Explanation:

    Usage of the word “proved” for the blank will be grammatically incorrect because two action verbs 'proved' and 'ended up' cannot come together in a sentence. Option E is hence eliminated.
    Further, usage of any of the words “independently”, “unknowingly” and “inadvertently” with reference to ‘Demonetisation’ is absurd and not making any sense in the context of the paragraph. Options A, B and D get eliminated as well.
    Usage of “willy-nilly” which means ‘whether one likes it or not’ is the only option left and it at the same time fits the gap contextually.
    Option C is hence the correct answer.
