Solution

The correct option is E Endangered
'Jeopardize' means to put (someone or something) into a situation in which there is a danger of loss, harm, or failure.
"a devaluation of the dollar would jeopardize New York's position as a financial centre"
In this context, "The politician's conviction for tax fraud jeopardized his future", 'jeopardized' means endangered or threatened. Hence, option D is correct and the others are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
