Explanation

The sentence means the article was approved or authorized for publication after review. 'Cleared' is the correct word choice indicating that content met editorial standards and received permission to be published. Other options like 'clasped' (held tightly), 'clinched' (settled firmly), 'clogged' (blocked), or 'climbed' (ascended) do not fit the context of publication approval.
