The correct answer is option 4.

We have 'the' in the preceding sentence that the RBI went through 'five turbulent years'.

Thus we can deduce that the blank before 'economic circumstances' would be filled by an adjective that describes the circumstances as turbulent.

The correct word is 'tumultuous' which means 'confused, or disorderly'.

The meanings of the other words are as follows:

Orderly: Neatly and methodically arranged.

Reposing: Lying down in rest

Tranquil: Free from disturbances

Serene: Peaceful and untroubled
