General EnglishGrammar and usage
- Abend
- Bexpand
- Csqueeze
- Dstretch
Explanation
Clothes that feel tight when new loosen as they are worn — the fabric stretches, i.e. extends or lengthens beyond its original size. Bend means to curve, expand means to grow in volume (not the natural word for fabric), and squeeze means to press tightly, which is the opposite effect. Hence (D) stretch is correct.
