Explanation:
There is a spelling error in the sentence provided. The word "whipped" is used incorrectly in this
context. The correct word should be "wiped," which means to remove or eliminate. Therefore, the correct
answer is:

Here are short meanings for the highlighted words in the sentence:
(a) Encroached - Intruded on, especially in a gradual way that causes infringement or trespass.
(b) Whipped - Moved or removed quickly or suddenly; however, in this context, the intended word should
be "wiped," meaning to erase or remove completely.
(c) Classified - Arranged or categorized according to class or category.
(d) Sensitive - Quick to detect or respond to slight changes, signals, or influences; also can refer to
something needing careful handling, typically because of its delicacy or potential controversy.
