Correct Answer: A difficult situation in which the solution to a problem is impossible


Solution : The second option is correct.

The highlighted idiom Catch-22 refers to a paradoxical situation in which one is trapped by contradictory rules, circumstances, or conditions that make it impossible to solve a problem or take action because the conditions necessary to resolve the issue are mutually exclusive or self-defeating.

In essence, it's a no-win scenario where attempting to escape or resolve the situation only leads to further complications or challenges, which is quite similar to what is given in the second option.
