SUBSIDIARYAnswer & explanation
Answer: A) Secondary
Meaning: subsidiary = less important than, or supporting, something else; under the control of a main body *(सहायक, गौण, अधीनस्थ)*.
secondary = coming second in importance *(गौण, द्वितीयक)* — the same sense.
A *subsidiary company* is controlled by a parent company; a *subsidiary issue* is a secondary one.
Why the others are wrong.
#B Primary = first or chief in importance *(प्राथमिक, मुख्य)* — the opposite of subsidiary.
#B Main = principal, most important *(मुख्य, प्रधान)* — also an antonym.
#B Integral = essential, forming a necessary part of a whole *(अभिन्न, अनिवार्य)* — the reverse of something merely supporting.
Answer: Secondary
*Three options point to "chief"; subsidiary always me
