E Correct answer
Explanation

The correct phrase is 'bogged down,' meaning to become stuck or entangled in something complicated. A 'quagmire' is literally soft, boggy ground, so 'bogged down' is the perfect metaphorical match for being trapped in political complexity. None of the other particles form correct phrasal verbs with 'bogged' in this context.
