In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of the idiom/phrase.
One place to another
The idiom "from pillar to post" means being driven or moved repeatedly from one place (or person) to another, usually in a harassed, fruitless way.
Hence the closest meaning is "One place to another". "Main support of an object" is the literal sense of pillar, not the idiom; "reluctant" and "incite others" are unrelated.
