A Correct answer
Explanation

Inundate means to overwhelm or flood with large quantities of something, literally water or metaphorically (like information). 'Flood' is the direct literal synonym. Dampen means to make slightly wet, obstinate means stubborn, and intrude means to invade inappropriately.
