Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
The mob drove on the rampage and looted several shops in the locality.

Correct option is B

The most appropriate option to substitute the highlighted segment "drove on the rampage" in the given sentence is "(b) went on the rampage."
 This option conveys the intended meaning that the mob became violent and destructive. "Went on the rampage" is a common expression used to describe a situation where a group of people becomes unruly and engages in violent or destructive behavior.
 The other options do not convey the same meaning as effectively:
 "played on the rampage" and "strolled on the rampage" do not accurately capture the seriousness and violence of the situation.
 "ran on the rampage" is less idiomatic and less commonly used than "went on the rampage" in this context.
