Correct Answer: genuine


Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option.

The word "spurious" implies that the drinks were not genuine, authentic, or real; they were likely fake, counterfeit, or of inferior quality. "Genuine" refers to something real, authentic, and not fake.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Curious means eager to learn or know, showing interest.
  • Artificial means something made by human skill or not occurring naturally.
  • Nefarious means wicked, villainous, or criminal.

Therefore, the correct answer is genuine.
