    Solution

    'Indomitable' is an adjective that means impossible to subdue or defeat, while the sentence talks about companies dealing with people in debt, so it is clear there is no connection between the two. Thus the correct word to be used is 'Harass' - subject to aggressive pressure or intimidation. 'Eclectic' means deriving ideas from a broad and diverse range of sources, while the sentence talks about wetting strips with a liquid, so it is clear there is no connection between the two. Thus the correct word to be used is 'Immerse' - dip or submerge in a liquid. 'Atrophy' is a noun which means a gradual decline in effectiveness or vigour, while the sentence talks about a person's thirst and subsequent consumption of rinks leading to urination, so it is clear there is no connection between the two. Thus the correct word to be used is 'Quench' - satisfy (one's thirst) by drinking. Also, a verb is required in all sentences after 'to'. Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
