Correct Answer: notorious


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation:
"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.
  • Famous generally implies being well-known, but it doesn't inherently imply a negative reputation.
  • Renowned signifies being widely acclaimed or honoured for positive qualities or achievements.

Therefore, the correct answer is notorious.
