A Correct answer
Explanation

Obfuscate means to make something unclear, obscure, or difficult to understand. The context of bureaucratic language making a petition's meaning unclear fits perfectly with 'obscured.' 'Deranged' means mentally disturbed, 'lost' is too vague, and 'deciphered' is the opposite of what happened.
