Correct answer: C

Explanation

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

Grotesque refers to something that is comically or repulsively ugly or distorted.

Ugly is the closest synonym, as it also describes something unpleasant to look at.

The other options:

Shameful means something deserving of shame, which doesn't match "grotesque."

Comely means attractive, which is the opposite of "grotesque."

Spontaneous means happening without premeditation, unrelated to "grotesque."
