Solution

The word "stranded" means left without the means to move from somewhere. In the context of a sudden landslide on a highway, vehicles would be stuck and unable to proceed. Therefore, "stranded" is the most appropriate word to fill in the blank.

"Stationed" means assigned to a specific place.

"Straggle" means to trail behind.

Answer: stranded

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
