Solution
The correct option is D Incorrect = each another, Correct= one another
Embracing is an act of hugging someone out of affection. The sentence given talks about four people who are embracing. When two or more people perform the same activity, we use reciprocal pronouns such as 'each other' or 'one another.'
Option A) one other means each of them embraced one other person and is incorrect.
Option B) themselves is incorrect because it does not give a clear idea about the activity performed.
Option D) is incorrect because it means that the four people hugged everybody which is not what the sentence conveys.
So, the most appropriate answer is option C) incorrect= each another, correct= one another.
