Correct answer: (C) Enraptured (मंत्रमुग्ध, आनंदित)

• Option (B) “Bewildered” (हैरान): This is incorrect because “bewildered” means confused or puzzled, which is the opposite of “ecstatic.”
• Option (D) “Willful” (जिद्दी): This is incorrect because “willful” means determined or stubborn, which has no connection to the intense joy implied by “ecstatic.”
