Correct answer: C
Answer: Deteriorate
Explanation: "Convalesce" means to recover health or strength after an illness or medical treatment. The opposite is to get worse in health or condition.
Why "Deteriorate" is correct: it means to become worse in health or condition, which is the direct opposite of recovering.
Why the other choices are incorrect:
Visible — means able to be seen; unrelated to recovery or worsening.
Brittle — means easily broken or fragile; not related to health recovery.
Scattered — means dispersed or spread around; not the opposite of recovering.
