Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The correct answer is the second option.

Impromptu means something done spontaneously or without prior planning, which doesn't fit the situation described. A better word to convey the idea of immediate resignation is forthwith. It is the correct alternative because it means immediately or without delay, which is suitable in this context.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: His illness means he must resign his chairmanship forthwith .
