Correct answer: A
The word 'morose' means gloomy, sullen, ill-humoured, or depressed in mood. We need its antonym (opposite).
'happy' (cheerful, light-hearted) directly opposes the gloomy sense of 'morose', so it is the correct antonym.
'sympathetic' (compassionate toward others) and 'diseased' (ill) describe attitude and health, not mood; 'halting' (hesitant, faltering) describes speech or movement. None of these is the opposite of 'morose'.
