Solution
The correct option is C sycophantic
Option C Is the correct answe because “a sycophant “ is a person who flatters or praises someone important in order to gain advantage, which means that trying to be impressive in a way that it can sometimes be repulsive , hence it is correct. Option A is incorrect because “refulgent” means shining very brightly, hence it is incorrect. Option B is incorrect because “arrogant” means to talk in a mean and mannerless way, which is incorrect because then it would result in straight rejection and not a repulsion. Option D is incorrect because “hybrid” means a mixture of types, which is not correct here because being a hybrid character cannot be repulsive unless it is arrogant.
