in her history class, jodie learned that during world war ii, ______ and decoding german messages was crucial for the allied forces.

gaining intercepting obtaining

Explanation:

To show the messages were seized before reaching recipients, we need a word meaning "stopping or catching in transit". "Intercepting" fits as it means to seize or stop (a message, etc.) on the way. "Gaining" and "obtaining" don't imply stopping before delivery.
