Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. harmless.

"Baseless": Lacking foundation or basis; not related to the idea of being harmful or harmless.

"Senseless": Lacking sense or meaning; does not relate directly to harmfulness or safety.

"Meaningless": Lacking meaning; does not directly relate to the concept of harm or safety.
