Correct Answer: posthumously


Solution : The correct answer is option 3.

Explanation:

- Let's examine the words' definitions:
- Incompletely: in a way that lacks some components or is not complete.
- Legitimately: in a manner that is permitted by the law.
- Posthumously: following a person's passing.
- Pre-emptively: in order to prevent something that is anticipated or feared.
- Because the sentence refers to an award that was given after the man had passed away for a number of years, "Posthumously" is the closest option to "after death."
