Option A is not the correct answer. 'Patient' means able to accept or tolerate delays, problems, or
suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious. It's not the opposite of 'Diabolic'. Therefore option
A is inappropriate.

Option B is wrong. The word 'generous' stresses the warm and sympathetic nature of the giver. It is
somehow contradictory to a diabolical person but is not the perfect option to be chosen literary.
Thus, it's an inappropriate answer.

Option C is absolutely correct. 'Kind' is an antonym of the word 'Diabolic' that signifies, kind is the
opposite of diabolic. Hence, Option C is the most suitable answer.

simple, it simply means that you're ordinary, just like everyone else. Nothing to add. No complications, no big problems. Being simple is not bad, it's just not interesting. This option has nothing to do with the given question. Therefore, Option D is also incorrect.
