Explanation

Buckle is a polysemous word with multiple valid meanings: (1) to fasten with a buckle, and (2) to collapse or bend under pressure/strain. Crumple (3) means to collapse or crush, which matches the second meaning. Fasten (4) matches the first meaning. Dislodge and become tense are unrelated.
