Explanation:

- The passage is in the present tense, describing a scene at the Varagaliar elephant camp.

- The context indicates that it's dinner time for the tusker, and the action is currently happening.

- Option 1: "feeding" - This is a present participle that would work if describing the action of an implicit subject feeding the tusker.

- Option 2: "feeds" - This is a present tense verb and could be used to describe a third person subject feeding the tusker, but it doesn't fit with the passive voice structure here.

- Option 3: "fed" - This is the correct word for the blank as it completes the passive voice structure, showing that the tusker is being given food currently.

- Option 4: "feed" - This is the base form of the verb and is incorrect in this context as it doesn’t fit the grammatical structure required.
