Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

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

Given word: Mutant

Meaning: A mutant is something (usually a living being) that has changed or developed differently from the normal, often due to a genetic change or mutation.

Example:
In science fiction movies, mutants often have special powers due to changes in their genes.

Synonym: Deviant

Meaning: Something or someone that is different from what is normal or expected.

Example:
The artist’s style was considered deviant, but later became popular.

Meaning of the other options:

  • Disabled – Physically or mentally impaired (not same as mutant)

  • Flawless – Perfect, without any defect (opposite meaning)

  • Superhuman – Having powers beyond normal humans (not always related to mutation)

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
