The correct answer is- 'ambiguous'
Key Points

  • The word 'Equivocal' is an adjective and it means 'not clear and seeming to have two opposing meanings, or confusing and able to be understood in two different ways'
    • Example: His words to the press were deliberately equivocal - he didn't deny the reports but neither did he confirm them.

 

  • Ambiguous refers to something that can have multiple interpretations or meanings, or is unclear or uncertain. Here's an example sentence using ambiguous:
    • The politician's statement was ambiguous and left many people unsure of where they stood on the issue.

Hence, option 4 is the most appropriate answer here.

WORDS MEANING
clear(adjective) easy to perceive, understand, or interpret.
determinable(adjective)  able to be firmly decided or definitely ascertained.
certain(adjective) known for sure; established beyond doubt.

Hinglish

  • 'Equivocal' शब्द एक विशेषण है और इसका अर्थ है 'स्पष्ट नहीं और प्रतीत होने के दो विरोधी अर्थ हैं, या भ्रमित करने और दो अलग-अलग तरीकों से समझने में सक्षम हैं'
    • उदाहरण: His words to the press were deliberately equivocal - he didn't deny the reports but neither did he confirm them.
  • Ambiguous किसी ऐसी चीज़ को संदर्भित करता है जिसकी कई व्याख्याएँ या अर्थ हो सकते हैं, या अस्पष्ट या अनिश्चित है। यहाँ ambiguous का उपयोग करते हुए एक उदाहरण वाक्य दिया गया है:
    • The politician's statement was ambiguous and left many people unsure of where they stood on the issue.

इसलिए, विकल्प 4 यहां सबसे उपयुक्त उत्तर है।

शब्दों अर्थ
clear(विशेषण) समझने, समझने या व्याख्या करने में आसान।
determinable(विशेषण) दृढ़ता से निर्णय लिया जा सकता है या निश्चित रूप से पता लगाया जा सकता है।
certain (विशेषण) यकीन के लिए जाना जाता है; संदेह से परे स्थापित।
