Correct Answer: adverted
Solution : The second option is the correct answer. "Adeverted" means "refer to in speaking or writing", which matches with the context of the question.
Exclaimed: This means to cry out or shout.
Averted: This means to prevent or avoid.
Mentioned: It means just to point out.
All these don't fit in the context. So the correct sentence is "He averted the problem of air pollution in his speech."
