Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

The phrase "hemmed in" is a phrasal verb. To hem someone in means to prevent someone from moving or doing what they want to do. So the sentence would read:

The editor was not happy that the Nigerian press was hemmed in. 

This means that the Nigerian press is not allowed to do what it wants to do. 

There is an explanation video available below.
