Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. minor.

Let's have a look at the meaning of the given options:-

  1. minor- not very big, serious or important (when compared with others).
  2. complete- having or including all parts; with nothing missing.
  3. large- greater in size, amount, etc. than usual; big.
  4. fundamental- basic and important; from which everything else develops.

Most parts of the human body are the same as the other human body "Minor" will be the correct choice here.

"Minor" which means "not very big, serious or important (when compared with others)." fits the context appropriately.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
