Correct Answer: Extravagant


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation: Stingy refers to being unwilling to spend money or be generous, while extravagant implies spending money lavishly and in a wasteful manner. The complete sentence emphasises the contrast between the person who is stingy and the extravagant friend who indulges in luxury.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Wicked means morally wrong or evil.
  • Obnoxious means extremely unpleasant or offensive.
  • Indecent means not conforming to accepted standards of morality or modesty.

Therefore, the correct answer is extravagant.
