Detailed Solution

Bullying is the act of frightening or harming someone who is weak.
The administration repeatedly threatened to use its authority to bully student protestors into submission, but they refused to be intimidated or scared.
In this sentence, the word threatened is directly linked to bully, and any other options given are unrelated to the sentence, for example, in option 2, the meaning of delude is to fool someone, so the word threatened is unrelated to fool.
As a result, option 4 is correct.
