Solution

The correct option is C vociferous
Option C: 'Strident' means 'loud and harsh, grating'.
'Vociferous' means 'loud and forceful'.
This word means the same as the given italicized word. Hence option C is correct.
Option A: 'Courageous' means 'not deterred by danger or pain, brave'.
Option B: 'Brave' means 'ready to face and endure danger or pain'.
Option D: 'Powerful' means 'having a lot of strength or force'.
These words do not mean the same as the given word 'strident'.
So, options A, B and D are wrong.
