Solution

The correct option is D Dangerous
The correct answer is Option D.
The complete proverb is 'A little knowledge is a dangerous thing'.
The proverb means that a lack of knowledge causes great harm not only to an individual but also to others. This is because a person could end up misleading others with his or her incomplete knowledge.
Options A,B and C would change the meaning of the proverb. It would mean that little knowledge is a desirable thing.
Therefore these options are incorrect and as explained above Option D is the correct answer.
