Solution

The correct option is B Gentle
'Benign' means gentle and kind. E.g. His humour was benign, never cruel or hurtful. 'Gentle' means kind and tender. Thus, option C is the correct answer. Rest of the options are wrong.
'Tenfold' means ten times as great. 'Peaceful' means tranquil. 'Wavering' means becoming weaker. 'Favourable' means expressing approval.
