Respuesta :

Answer:

I think its 3) fumbling

Explanation:

I asked the internet what synonyms were for the word and fumble came up

The correct answer is touching. Grope and touching is the same. Fumbling is more like when you’re in a dark room and moving your hands around to try and find the light switch. Groping is more like massaging or aka touching.
