GLITTERINGAnswer & explanation
Answer: D) Gleaming
Meaning: glittering = shining with many small flashes of light; sparkling *(जगमगाता, चमचमाता)*.
gleaming = shining brightly, especially with reflected light *(चमकता हुआ)* — the same sense.

Why the others are wrong.
#B Lackluster = dull, without shine or energy *(फीका, निस्तेज)* — the opposite.
#B Darkened = made dark *(अंधकारमय, धुंधला किया हुआ)* — also an opposite.
#B Quiet = making little or no noise *(शांत)* — about sound, not light.
Answer: Gleaming
*Glitter and gleam both begin with gl — many English "light" words do: glow, glare, glint.* - SSC CGL 2023 T-1 Spelling
