Answer 1

The correct option is C Obsolete

Option C: 'Obsolete' means 'no longer produced or used'.

Hence this word substitutes the given words and option C is correct.

Option A: 'Exotic' means 'originating in or characteristic of a distant foreign country'.

Option B: 'Primitive' refers to the earliest stages of evolution or the historical development of something.

Option D: 'Ancient' means 'belonging to a very distant past and is no longer in existence'.
