Correct Answer:
The crowd cheered to the echo in the football match.
Explanation
The correct answer is The crowd cheered to the echo in the football match.
The use of 'echo' in the first Option is incorrect. Echo(V): If a sound echoes or a place echoes with a sound, you hear the sound again because you are in a large, empty space. Example: The sound of footsteps echoed around the hall. Echo(N): a sound that is heard after it has been reflected off a surface such as a wall or a cliff. Example: Thick carpet would reduce the echo in this hallway. It should be cheer(one) to the echo. Its meaning is 'To vocally support or encourage one.' In the given sentence pronoun after 'cheer' is not used. Therefore this makes the sentence wrong. Hence, 'echo' used in the first sentence is wrong. Example: The fans really cheered us to the echo in the championship game.
