Correct Answer: classified


Solution : The most appropriate option is the fourth option.

Explanation:
Classified means grouped or categorised based on specific characteristics or qualities. In the context of the sentence, Uranus and Neptune are described as 'ice giants' because of their composition, containing more water, ammonia, and methane compared to gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn. This classification distinguishes them based on their elemental makeup.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Magnified: enlarged or amplified, typically referring to making something appear larger.
  • Restricted: limited or confined, implying a limitation or confinement of some sort.
  • Indulged: allowed oneself to enjoy something, often implying excessive gratification or giving in to desires.
