    Solution

    The phrase ‘wind up’ here means ‘to close a business, especially when it is not successful and has debts’ or ‘to end a meeting, discussion, or an activity’. This is the correct phrase here. B- to move towards someone. C- to become better. D- an attempt to prevent the public from discovering information about a serious crime or mistake. Here, it is inappropriate.
