Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is A. Posthumous.
A posthumous child is a child born after the death of its father. The word “posthumous” comes from the Latin word “posthumus,” which means “after death.” Posthumous children are often considered to be special because they are a reminder of their father, even though he is no longer alive.
The other options are incorrect.
- An orphan is a child whose parents are both dead.
- A bastard is a child born to unmarried parents.
- A progenitor is an ancestor.
