    Solution

    The original phrase "is also intensified as well" is incorrect because it suggests a passive construction that doesn't fit the context. The correct phrase should use "is also intensifying" to convey that the endorsement game is actively growing. The word "with" appropriately connects the endorsement game to the action of Hollywood celebrities using their platforms. Thus, option 2 is the best choice for correcting the sentence.
