Correct Answer: inexplicable


Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer for the sentence because ''inexplicable'' means 'unnecessary' and makes the explanation of the sentence as 'the airline was unable to explain the unnecessary departure delay'.

The word ' 'indivisible'' in the first option means something that cannot be divided so it does not fit in contextually. The word '' invincible'' in the second option means unbeatable or unconquerable so it doesn't make the sentence sensible. The word ''invisible'' in the third option means someone or something that cannot be seen, which is absolutely out of context.

Therefore, the complete statement should be " The airline was unable to give us a reason for the inexplicable departure delay. "
