Solution
A: here, an adjective that modifies ‘waters’ is correct. ‘Placid’ is an adjective that means ‘having a calm appearance or characteristics’. It is correct here. B: here, a verb is suitable and the verb should be in the past form. The verb ‘impede’, which means ‘to make it more difficult for something to happen’ is correct here. C: here also, a verb is correct. But flocks is grammatically incorrect. Also, ‘impeded’ is incorrect. So, option 3 is correct.
