Last updated Jul 21, 2026
Correct Answer: Option C — Pliant
Explanation
Resilient: Refers to being able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions, fatigue, or pressure (showing strength, toughness, and determination).

Pliant: Means easily bent, flexible, or yielding easily to pressure or influence—making it the antonym in this context (giving in easily under strain).

Friable: Means easily crumbled or pulverized (typically used for physical materials like soil or rock, rather than a person's physical or mental stamina).

Tough and Buoyant: Both share similar or supportive meanings to resilient (tough meaning durable/strong; buoyant meaning cheerful/upbeat).
