Select the option in which the word ‘ephemeral’ is used correctly.

Correct option is B

The correct usage is in option (b).
‘Ephemeral’: Lasting for a very short time. (अल्पकालिक, क्षणिक)
Example: The beauty of a sunset is ephemeral.
· Option (b) logically and grammatically matches the meaning: Life is short-lived, spirit is eternal – a philosophical contrast.
· Option (a) contradicts itself by calling the desk both ephemeral and sturdy/stable.
· Option (c) is a contradiction – things that are short-lived don’t usually have lasting impact.
· Option (d) misuses “ephemeral” to describe physical durability, which is incorrect.
