PiquantAnswer & explanation
Answer: C) Bland
Answer: c) Bland
Explanation:
Piquant means having a pleasantly strong or spicy taste or exciting and interesting (मसालेदार या रुचिकर).
Its antonym should mean lacking flavour or interest.
• Bland = lacking strong flavour; dull and unexciting (फीका, बेरंग) → Correct antonym
• Delectable = delicious and tasty (स्वादिष्ट) → synonym
• Delicious = very tasty (बहुत स्वादिष्ट) → synonym
• Bitter = sharp or unpleasant taste (कड़वा) → not the opposite of "piquant", just a different taste
Bland is the only word that expresses the opposite meaning of piquant.
