Answer 1

The correct option is A sluggish

The highlighted word means 'sleepy'.

Option A is correct. 'Sluggish', in this context, also means 'sleepy'. Thus, it has the required meaning and is the correct answer.

Options B, C and D are incorrect. They do not have the required meaning.

'Irritable' means 'easily annoyed', 'energetic' means 'active' and 'dizzy' means 'woozy' or 'sick'.
