Right @Shathadruthi.

Yes, conquer must be the right answer because the question talks about the entire soft drink market.

Pradeep jat said:   5 years ago
Captured is the correct one as conquer means to defeat someone and then grab the property where as capture means just to get that whole property.

The best option for this sentence would be:

4) **captured**

The phrase "captured the entire soft drink market" conveys a business-related success, fitting the context of a company gaining control or dominance in a market.

Other options like "conquered" or "swallowed" may sound too aggressive, and "occupied" is more commonly used in territorial or military contexts.
