    Question

    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate choice.
    Outside the court they both said they would consider mounting a case against the police for ________ prosecution.

    A.

    modest

    B.

    malicious

    C.

    mundane

    D.

    munificent

    Correct option is B


    The correct option is (b) malicious.

    Explanation:

    • The phrase used in legal context is malicious prosecution, which means a legal action started with ill will, without reasonable cause, mainly to harass someone.
    • Hence, the adjective malicious correctly fits before prosecution.
    • Example: He filed a suit for malicious prosecution after the false charges were dismissed.

    Meanings of other options:

    • (a) Modest: not large; humble. (Hindi meaning: विनम्र / साधारण)
    • (c) Mundane: ordinary; dull. (Hindi meaning: साधारण / नीरस)
    • (d) Munificent: very generous. (Hindi meaning: उदार)

    So the correct answer is (b)
