Explanation
The first half of the sentence explains that lowering interest rates can create financial stability, so this would allow the Fed to make a crisis “better.” Exacerbating and compounding are the opposite of what you want, and annihilating goes too far. Only palliating and assuaging correctly fit the meaning here.
Hence options palliating, assuaging are best fit!
