Explanation:

- The sentence is: "Union minister M.J. Akbar newspapers (A) to take legal action against several women journalists (B) who had accused (C) him of sexual harassment at two threatened (D) where he had been an editor."

- The current placement of words seems off.

- Option 1 suggests swapping A-B and C-D. This would disrupt the sentence structure further.

- Option 2 suggests swapping only C-D. This would not make sense as "threatened him of sexual harassment" is incorrect.

- Option 3 suggests swapping only A-B. This would place "journalists to take legal action," making it incorrect.

- Option 4 suggests swapping only A-D. This makes it "threatened to take legal action against several women journalists who had accused him of sexual harassment at two newspapers where he had been an editor," which is correct.

The correct option is: Option 4 - Only A-D .
