Solution
The correct option is D Obligatory
'Mandatory' means required by law or mandate; compulsory.
"wearing helmets was made mandatory for pedal cyclists"
In this context, "The rule states that if a boxer is knocked down, he must stay down for a mandatory eight seconds", 'mandatory' means obligatory. Hence, option C is correct and the other options are incorrect as they do not provide the appropriate information.
