Correct Answer: impossible


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

The passage suggests that eliminating gaming in the banking sector seems extremely challenging or difficult. The word impossible conveys a sense of extreme difficulty more strongly than the other options.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Feasible means something that is possible or practical.

  • Penetrable means capable of being penetrated or entered.

  • Liable is someone who is responsible or accountable.

Therefore, the correct answer is, impossible.
