Correct Answer: rotund


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

Corpulent is a formal word that describes someone who is very overweight. A r otund is anything that's plump or round. Rotund describes someone who is round in shape or obese. It's not a compliment. Since corpulent means overweight, the word rotund is its synonym.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Lanky: Lanky suggests awkwardness and loose-jointedness as well as thinness. a lanky youth, all arms and legs.
  • Deformed: Having a shape that is not normal because it has grown wrongly.
  • Plush: Soft to touch.
