The correct answer is 'Option 1' i.e. 'Sensation'.

 Key Points

  • The word 'Fad' means an intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something, especially one that is short-lived and without basis in the object's qualities
  • 'Sensation' is a term that can be used to describe a similar phenomenon, something that causes great excitement and interest, often for a brief period of time.
  • It captures the same sense of a widespread and often temporary interest in something.
  • So, 'Sensation' is synonymous with 'Fad' in this context.

Therefore, the correct answer is: 'Sensation'.

  • 'Classic' is typically used to describe something that is judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind
