rise
grow

grow

They have dramatically risen.
They have dramatically fallen.
They have fluctuated a lot.
They have not moved.

不对，因为股票市场上的 fluctuating wildly, 通常说明上市公司有问题，而句子的意思是说苹果公司很成功。Fluctuating wildly 大幅浮动。
不对，不合句意。因为句中的 soaring 一词表示直线攀升，而 low 则表示低或走低的意思。
完全正确。这个句子的意思是特别高 impressive height 和原句中的意思相符合降伏。Soaring 迅速升高。
不对，因为 remained stable 意思是保持稳定，可是原句中使用的动词却是 soaring 迅速上升，因此意思不符。
