Correct Answer: (4)
Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option.
Explanation: The original phrase "multiplies over" effectively conveys the idea that the amount increases or grows over a period of time.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
'Within" suggests a time frame or limit, but it doesn't convey the same meaning as "multiplies over".
"In" indicates location or a specific point in time or space, which is not what the sentence is describing.
"By" is a preposition that indicates the means or method by which something is done.
Therefore, the sentence is, "The amount multiplies over a period of time."
