i think av is correct….. n yadav …..hovel means a crude shelter ,hence saying “impecunious leads to hovel” is not that correct…. pls explain if u have any other ans…

option d) wont be the answer because a mendacious person may not cringe i.e show fear of submission.. so this option is ruled out. Rather option a) is the right answer
