Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. needed.

Let's have a look at the meaning of the given options:-

  1. needed- if you need something, you want it or must have it.
  2. considered- to think about something carefully, often before making a decision.
  3. distributed- to give things to a number of people.
