   ATurgidBMilleniumCDecadeDCentury
   Answer & explanation

   Answer: C) Decade

   Meaning: decade = a period of ten years *(दशक)*.
   From Greek *deka* = ten (as in *decimal*, *decathlon*).
   
   Why the others are wrong.
   #B Turgid = swollen; also (of writing) pompous and dull *(सूजा हुआ; आडंबरपूर्ण)* — not a time period at all.
   #B Millenium = meant as *millennium*, a period of 1,000 years *(सहस्राब्दी)*; note the correct spelling has double n — *millennium*.
   #B Century = a period of 100 years *(शताब्दी)*.
   
   Answer: Decade
   
   *Decade 10, century 100, millennium 1,000 — learn the three as a ladder.*
