Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word.

Indigenous

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

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

"Aboriginal" is the most appropriate synonym for "indigenous" because both words describe something that is native to a specific region or environment, particularly in reference to people, plants, or animals that originally belong to a particular area.

"Artificial" refers to something man-made, "tangible" refers to something that can be touched or perceived physically, and "literary" relates to literature or written works—all of which are unrelated to the meaning of "indigenous."
