Correct Answer: obstructing


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The word "obstructing" is the most appropriate choice in this context because it implies explicitly that the vehicles are blocking or hindering the normal traffic flow.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Stalling is the gerund form of "stall", which means to stop making progress.
  • Interfering is the gerund form of "stall", which means tending to intervene in other people's affairs.
  • Delaying is the gerund form of "delay", which means to make something delayed or slow.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: The vehicles involved in the accident were obstructing the flow of traffic.
