Solution

The correct option is E Acquired
'Gain' means to obtain or secure (something wanted or desirable).
"we gained entry to the car in five seconds"
In this sentence, "Nobody has the faintest idea where the politician gained all his wealth", 'gained' means to acquire, obtain, get. Hence, option E is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate answer.
