Correct option - 4

Clearly, rain water is not flowed, dropped or spread. Hence, option 2 is eliminated. Now, let's find out the difference between 'showered' and 'poured':-

Showered - A brief and usually light fall of rain, hail, sleet, or snow.

Poured - To fall heavily especially in terms of rain.
