Answer is Right!
The correct answer is C. Determined.
Pertinacity is the quality of being determined to do or achieve something despite difficulty or opposition. It is often used in a negative sense to describe someone who is stubborn or unwilling to change their mind. However, it can also be used in a positive sense to describe someone who is persistent and never gives up.
The other options are not synonyms of pertinacity.
- Defensive: This means being ready or eager to argue or defend oneself.
- Humble: This means having or showing a modest or low estimate of one’s own importance.
- Delicate: This means easily damaged or broken.
