The artist skilfully captured the intricate contours of the mountain range.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

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

  • "Intricate" refers to something that has many small, complex details or parts, making it complicated or elaborate.
  • The synonym "complex" shares this meaning, as it also describes something that is complicated, with many interconnected parts or details.
  • The other options—"systematic," "fantastic," and "reasonable"—do not capture the idea of detailed complexity that "intricate" conveys.
