Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Abstruse is an adjective used to describe something that is hard to understand, complex, or obscure (e.g., "The philosopher’s writing was too abstruse for a general audience").

Difficult is a direct synonym because it shares the core meaning of being challenging to grasp or manage.

Obvious, Simple, and Clear are all antonyms (opposites) of abstruse, as they describe things that are easy to perceive or understand.
