Hint:The correct option would be the synonym of the word ‘Naked’. Someone is naked when he is not wearing anything.
Example: The child was bathing naked.

Complete answer:
>Option a – Undressed
Undressed is an adjective which means that someone is wearing no clothes.
Example: I go to bed undressed because I can’t sleep with clothes on.
>Option b – Unaided
When someone does something without some help or assistance it is referred to as unaided.
Example: My project is completely unaided and I’m alone working on it.
>Option c – Uncensored
Uncensored is an antonym for censored which means some part of a book, film etc. has been removed. Thus, uncensored means without having any changes or removal of something.
Example: This book was censored all over the world for some controversial content but I’ve an uncensored version of it.
>Option d – Bespectacled
Bespectacled is an adjective which means wearing glasses or spectacles to improve the vision to read or see.
Example: The bespectacled teacher is very intelligent.
>Option e – Near-sighted
A person is called to be near-sighted if he can’t read or see from a distance and has to bring the object closer to the eyes to do so.
Example: My elder sister has been near-sighted since she was 5 years old.

The option which best expresses the meaning of the word ‘Naked’ is ‘Undressed’.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘a’.

Note: Option a ‘Undressed’ is the most appropriate answer as both ‘Undressed’ and ‘Naked’ are proper synonyms to each other whereas the other words mean totally different.
