A person of evil reputation
Option 1: icon
Option 2: notorious
Option 3: famous
Option 4: renowned
Correct Answer: notorious
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

"Notorious" specifically refers to someone who is well-known but for negative reasons, often associated with a bad reputation or infamy.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- An icon typically refers to a symbol or representation that is widely recognised and revered.

- Renowned signifies being widely acclaimed or honoured for positive qualities or achievements.
Therefore, the correct answer is notorious.
