Solution

The correct option is D Impeding
'Obstructing' means to block (an opening, path, road, etc.); be or get in the way of.
"she was obstructing the entrance"
In this context, "Her swollen tonsils are obstructing the doctor's view of her throat", 'obstructing' means impending or blocking. Hence, option D is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
