Solution

The correct option is D attentive

Italicized word ‘scrupulous’ means particular or extremely careful about details. The best fit as meaning of the word is Option D ‘Attentive’. Attentive means alert or paying close attention. The context of the sentence is that he did his job with great attention. Option A ‘Exact’ means precise and not approximated. Option B ‘marvelous’ means extraordinary or amazing. Option C ‘Great’ means exceptional or of an extent above average. Option E ‘Superfluous’ means surplus or unnecessary. The options A, B and C are incorrect as meaning of ‘scrupulous’. Hence, correct option is Option D, ‘Attentive’.
