Option 2 most appropriately fits the blank. The context of the sentence is of the 'civil war' creating obstructions in the distribution of famine relief by the aid agencies. 'Recapitulating' means summarising and stating again the main points of something. 'Obviating' means removing a need or a difficulty. Civil war removing the need/difficulty of famine relief does not make sense. 'Interceding' means intervening on behalf of others. 'Engendering' means to cause or give rise to (a feeling, situation, or condition). Except for 2, no other option fits the context.

Obstructing
The correct answer to the sentence is "obstructing."
Explanation:
- Obstructing: The civil war is creating obstacles or hindrances in the distribution of famine relief by aid agencies. The ongoing conflict and violence are impeding the efforts of aid organizations to reach and provide assistance to those in need.
- Recapitulating, meaning summarizing or repeating, does not fit the context of the sentence. The civil war is not summarizing or repeating the distribution of famine relief.
- Obviating, meaning avoiding or preventing, does not accurately describe the situation. The civil war is not preventing the distribution of famine relief; rather, it is hindering it.
- Interceding, meaning intervening or mediating, is also not the correct choice. The civil war is not mediating the distribution of famine relief; it is causing interference and obstruction.
In conclusion, the word "obstructing" best conveys the idea that the civil war is creating barriers to the distribution of famine relief by aid agencies.
