Correct option is A
The correct option is (a).
The word ubiquitous means present everywhere; found in many places at the same time (Hindi meaning: सर्वव्यापी / हर जगह मौजूद). Therefore, the closest meaning among the options is commonplace, i.e., very common and seen everywhere.
Step-by-step reasoning:
- Meaning of ubiquitous: everywhere, widespread.
- Option (a) commonplace means common and frequently found, which matches the idea of being widespread.
Example: Smartphones are ubiquitous in modern life.
Meanings of other options:
- (b) Specific: clearly defined or particular (Hindi meaning: विशिष्ट).
- (c) Unique: one of a kind (Hindi meaning: अद्वितीय).
- (d) Rare: not common; scarcely found (Hindi meaning: दुर्लभ).
So the correct answer is (a)
