Correct Answer: Limelight


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation: The term "limelight" is commonly used as a metaphor for being the centre of public attention or scrutiny. Historically, limelight was a bright light source used in theatres to illuminate performers on stage, making them the focal point for the audience. Over time, the word "limelight" has evolved to signify being in the public eye or the focus of attention.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Ambiguity refers to the quality of being open to more than one interpretation.
  • Obscurity means the state of being unknown or inconspicuous.
  • Fuzziness refers to a lack of clarity or sharpness.

Therefore, the correct answer is limelight.
