We need a noun, pronoun, or gerund to form the object of the preposition FOR. Out of all the given words, ADDRESSING (dealing with an issue or problem) will fit here as the sentence talks about the funds that were given for dealing with the vulnerabilities in the Android operating system. Thus, A is the right answer. The other words are contextually incorrect: Organising - identifying and grouping various activities, collecting or assembling various resources. Splurging - spending (money) freely or extravagantly. Circulating - moving continuously or freely through a closed system or area. Exhausting - making one feel very tired.
