Option 2: hiding documents very craftily

Option 3: hiding from watchful eyes

The blank needs an idiomatic phrase meaning to remain undetected by staying in an obvious location. Option 1 -> hiding in plain sight -> means staying undetected by being in an obvious, visible location where no one suspects you. Option 2 -> hiding documents very craftily -> refers to concealing physical objects skillfully, not about the spies' positioning strategy. Option 3 -> hiding from watchful eyes -> means avoiding detection by staying away from observers, opposite of the context. Option 4 -> hiding within everyone's sight -> awkward phrasing that doesn't form a standard idiom like "hiding in plain sight."

When something is hiding in plain sight, it's right there in front of everyone, but nobody notices it because it seems so ordinary or expected. Like a master spy posing as a boring office worker - they're completely visible but perfectly camouflaged by their mundane appearance.
