Obtuse means annoyingly insensitive or slow to understand. To obliterate is to totally destroy. To obfuscate is to make something unclear.$

Out of the given options, only 'abstuse'$ is spelt incorrectly. Its correct spelling should be 'abstruse$, which means difficult to understand; obscure.$

e.g. To my questions, she would always give abstruse answers.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
