Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. groom.

 

Meaning of "groom":  To prepare, train, or develop someone for a particular role or future—especially in terms of personality, skills, and appearance.

Contextual Meaning: The sentence discusses how student clubs help students prepare for their future careers or lives, not just academically, but in terms of their skills, confidence, and character.
So, “groom themselves” fits perfectly as it conveys self-preparation and development.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
