Complete answer:

In the given question, the word ‘serene’ refers to something or someone calm, peaceful, and untroubled; tranquil.
Let us analyze the options given to us in this question:
Option (a.), 'solemn', refers to something or someone formal and dignified.
Therefore, option (a.) is incorrect as its meaning is not synonymous to that of the given word ‘serene’.

Option (b.), ‘meek', refers to something or someone quiet, gentle, and easily imposed on; submissive.
Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as its meaning is not synonymous to that of the given word ‘serene’.

Option (c.), ‘delicate', refers to something or someone easily broken or damaged; fragile.
Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as its meaning is not synonymous to that of the given word ‘serene’.

Option (d.), ‘calm', refers to something or someone not showing or feeling nervousness, anger, or other strong emotions.
Therefore, option (d.) is correct as its meaning is synonymous to that of the given word ‘serene’.

Note: In this question, you should not get confused between ‘calm’ and ‘solemn’. Solemn is not the right answer as it refers to someone not being cheerful or smiling; serious.
