Solution

The correct option is B persistent
Perseverant is that quality of being persistent in doing something despite the difficulties faced or simply unwavering. Therefore option C, persistent, is the correct answer.

Option A is incorrect as prestigious means reputable and respected.

Perceptive means being insightful and observant, and a pacifist is someone who believes that war and violence are unjustifiable, a passive resistor. Since neither of these words hold any similarity to the meaning of perseverant, options B and C are incorrect.
