Solution

The correct option is B Stoic
A “stoic” is a person who can endure pain or hardship without showing their feelings or complaining,which means he is indifferent to pain and pleasures of life, hence Option C is the most suitable substitute for the given statement.
Option A is incorrect because “Saint” is a person acknowledged as holy or virtuous , hence it is not related to the given statement.
Option B is incorrect because “supermen” are the ideal superior men of the future who could rise above conventional Christian morality to create and impose his own values, which is not the same as someone indifferent to pain and pleasure, hence it is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because “mundane” means lacking interest or dull, which is incorrect.
