which of the following sentences uses the bolded vocabulary word correctly? I posted a pic of all the choices.

Answer:
The fourth option is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The fourth option uses the word "plague" in a grammatically correct way, indicating the cause of death of many people in a given year, for this reason this option is correct.
The same cannot be observed in other sentences that use words that remove the cohesion from the sentence and offer a text without coherence or meaning.
