Explanation:

- Option 1: growth – This doesn't fit well. The passage is about challenges like low rainfall affecting soil, not about growth.

- Option 2: support – This isn't relevant. The passage discusses the impact of borewell usage, not about supporting it.

- Option 3: addiction – Though referring to a strong reliance, "addiction" is more commonly used in a negative context related to habitual use, making it a less fitting choice.

- Option 4: dependence – This fits perfectly. It describes how Andhra Pradesh relies heavily on borewells, leading to soil aridity due to low rainfall.
