Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: Canny
Meaning: having or showing shrewdness and good judgement, especially in money or business matters.
Why the other options are incorrect:
Obstinate means stubborn or unyielding; it does not imply cleverness or shrewd judgement.
Handsome refers to being attractive or well-proportioned (or sometimes generous); it is unrelated to intelligence.
Stout describes someone who is bulky, thickset, or sturdy (or can mean brave); it does not mean clever.
