Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The correct option is the second option.

Explanation: It conveys the idea that the slow progress was due to the process of searching for them repeatedly.

The other options are not the best choice and also they do not convey the intended meaning of the sentence.

So, the sentence should be: "Our progress was slow through having to search for them at frequent intervals."
