Answer:

Obviously letter C or third option.

Explanation:

Because as in comparison with the last option it implies ( as the author does too) the is a workers whole-absorbed city and not only eaten or inundated as other options claim, since those kind of words (in these case verbs) state less aggressiveness and abrasiveness to the sentence in question.
