Solution
The correct option is A Exacerbate . . vigorously
Since scratching worsens
wounds, as intended in "Scratching...problems" by doing it intensely,
as intended in “if performed too...” the contextual synonym for worsen would be
exacerbate and for intensely would be vigorously. Hence, Option A is correct.
The rest of the options do not express the antonym, hence, incorrect.
