Correct Answer: cautious


Solution : The fourth option is correct.

Chary suggests a wariness or reluctance, often accompanied by a sense of being spared or cautious when taking risks. On the other hand, cautious emphasises general prudence and carefulness in actions to avoid potential harm or mistakes.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Keen means eager or enthusiastic.
  • Fervent means intensely passionate or earnest.
  • Confident means having assurance or self-reliance.

Therefore, the correct answer is cautious.
