Complete answer:
The meaning of mystique is ‘a quality of mystery, glamour, or power associated with someone or something or charisma or glamour or mystery. And we must find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as of mystique.
Option A) Fame - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of fame is ‘celebrity or stardom or popularity’ and this is not the synonyms of the word mystique. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Reputation - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of reputation is ‘the beliefs or opinions that are generally held about someone or something or character or repute’ and this is not the synonyms of the word mystique. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Charisma - is the correct answer because the meaning of charisma is ‘charm or aura or personality or attractiveness’ and this is the synonym of the word mystique as they have same or similar meaning and they can replace each other as they have the same meaning. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option D) Popularity - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of popularity is ‘celebrity or fame or stardom’ and this is not the synonyms of the word mystique. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘ C’.

Note:Synonyms are the words that have the same or similar meaning i.e. synonyms of mystique is charisma. So, the most appropriate answer is Option C because in question it is asked to give the same or similar meaning and antonyms are the words that are opposite in meaning and the antonym of mystique is simplicity or brightness. Also, Option A – Fame and Option D – Popularity are the synonyms of each other because they have the same or similar meaning and can be used in place of each other if we do not want to repeat the same word again and again. Thus, Option C is the correct answer and other options are wrong.
