Solution

The correct option is A weariness
Option C: 'Ennui' means 'feeling of being bored and mentally tired'.
'Weariness' means 'state of being bored or tired'.
This word means the same as the given italicized word. Hence option C is correct.
Option A: 'Anger' means 'strong feeling of annoyance or displeasure'.
Option B: 'Anxiety' means 'feeling of worry, nervousness or unease about something'.
Option D: 'Melancholy' means 'feeling of pensive sadness, with no obvious cause'.
These words do not mean the same as the given word 'ennui'.
So, options A, B and D are wrong.
