Explanation
The word in the blank must agree with animated, so anything that means gave life to will work—feel free to recycle animated. Both obliterated and extirpated are nearly the opposite of what you’re looking for, so eliminate choices (A) and (F).
Neither paralleled, which means was similar to, nor exemplified, which means were examples of, is supported by the sentence, so eliminate choices (D) and (E). Both fomented and galvanized can mean inspired, so choices (B) and (C) give you appropriate, equivalent sentences.
Hence options B and C fit!

Foment means to stir up public opinion how this works here? How did you molded the definition so that could mean inspired? I am sorry but am unable to understand this choice.
