Explanation:

- The passage discusses the effect of palm oil's popularity on deforestation.

- Option 1: Baffled - Meaning confused; not suitable here as it suggests incomprehension which is unrelated to action.

- Option 2: Delighted - Meaning made happy; doesn't fit as the context requires a word implying action or motivation, not emotion.

- Option 3: Curated - Meaning organized or selected; incorrect as it doesn't convey any sense of causation or encouragement.

- Option 4: Prompted - Meaning caused or encouraged an action; fits perfectly as it indicates that the popularity of palm oil led to deforestation activities.

Overall context implies an action was caused by popularity, making prompted the correct choice.
