    B

    shamble

    Incorrect Answer

    exist

    Incorrect Answer

    covet

    Incorrect Answer

    haunt

    Correct Answer

    shackle

    Incorrect Answer
    Explanation:

    Correct Answer is (d).As the verb ‘shamble’ which refers to ‘moving with a slow, shuffling, awkward gait’ is an intransitive one, the object ‘large parts of unorganized economy’ after it would be absurd and hence the verb is not suitable for the blank.
    The verb ‘exist’ should assume the preposition ‘in’ after it but as the preposition ‘in’ is missing in the sentence, usage of ‘exist’ would not be appropriate in the context of the passage.
    The verb ‘covet’ which refers to ‘yearn to possess’ would be absolutely illogical, if used for the blank.
    The verb ‘shackle’ means ‘to restrain or to limit’ and use of it for the blank doesn’t add any meaning to the context.
    Clearly, the word ‘haunt’ which refers to ‘persistently disturbing a situation’ seems to fit the blank most appropriately.
    Option D is hence the correct answer.
