Solution

The correct option is A foretold
Compound words are words formed by combining two words together into a new word itself; one which often has its own separate meaning. In this case, the word 'foretold' means something that has been declared or spoken of a very long time ago, often by a religious figure; thus the correct answer is Option A). All the remaining options do not appropriately fit into the rest of the sentence.
