Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

A word which denotes spreading of smell needs to be used to fill this blank. Consider option (1) stormed, it cannot be used in relation with some abstract quantity like smell instead it is used with physical quantities like soldiers, army etc. Option (2), rampaged, is also incorrect as smell does not rampage any one. Option (3), insinuated means something malicious, this can also not be correctly used. Last option, (4) permeated means to penetrate through holes, etc. This is perfect word to be used for smell entering a hall or auditorium.
