Correct Answer: Collapse


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

Backfire refers to a plan or action failing in a way that produces an opposite effect, while collapse implies a sudden failure or breakdown, often leading to falling apart or giving way.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Florid means excessively intricate or elaborate, often in relation to language or style.

  • Flooding means the overflowing of water onto land that is usually dry.

  • Flourish means to grow or develop in a healthy or vigorous way; also, to thrive or be successful.

Therefore, the correct answer is, collapse.
