Correct option - 2

Let's find out the meaning of following words :- 

Cease - to stop.

With reference to the context, blank should be filled with past participle verb. Hence, options 1 & 3 are eliminated. Now, with opening up of another sea route, traffic in Suez Canal must clearly not be increased. Hence, option 4 is eliminated.

Hence, option 2 i.e. declined is the correct answer.
