ON ACCOUNT OF means due to, and is used to denote causation. 1 uses the phrase correctly to explain the reason why she had been impeached. 2 uses the phrase correctly to throw light on the reasons why he had been fired. Thus, (d) is the right answer. 3 does not use the phrase correctly, as it talks about the valuation of the monthly expenses. AMOUNTED TO would have been a more suitable phrase.
