Solution

The correct option is C Perishable
The underlined word 'immortal' means 'living forever, never dying or decaying'.
Option B: 'Perishable' means 'likely to decay or go bad quickly'. It means the opposite of 'immortal'. Hence option B is correct.
Options A and D: Undying and eternal both mean the same as the underlined word. They both mean 'lasting or existing forever'. Hence A and D are incorrect.
Option C: 'Ancient' refers to something that existed a long time ago. It isn't related to the underlined word. Hence C is incorrect.
