Solution

The correct option is C Assembled
'Gathered' means to come together; assemble or accumulate.
"as soon as a crowd gathered, the police came"
In this sentence, "A hush fell over the guests who had gathered for the graduation ceremony", 'gathered' means to assemble or accumulate. Hence, option D is correct and the others are not because they do not provide the appropriate answer.
