   AIncaendescentBLightsCIntenseDMisery
   Answer & explanation

   Answer: A) Incaendescent

   Meaning: incandescent = glowing with light because it is very hot *(तापदीप्त, प्रकाशमान)* — an *incandescent bulb* gives light by heating a filament.
   
   The spelling.
   i-n-c-a-n-d-e-s-c-e-n-t — *in* + cand (Latin *candere*, to glow, as in *candle*) + -escent.
   The sentence writes *incaendescent* — the extra e after a (*inc-ae-n*) is wrong.
   
   Why the others are fine.
   #B Lights = sources of illumination *(बत्तियाँ, रोशनी)* — correctly spelt.
   #B Intense = very strong or extreme *(तीव्र, प्रबल)* — correctly spelt.
   #B Misery = great unhappiness *(दुःख, कष्ट)* — correctly spelt; note it does not even occur in the sentence (the sentence says *discomfort*), so it cannot be the error.
