Correct Answer: Chivalrous


Solution : The third option is correct.

Magnanimous means generous in forgiving an insult or injury; free from resentment or vindictiveness. Chivalrous refers to someone who shows qualities associated with chivalry, such as honour, generosity, and courage. Both of the words describe noble and generous qualities and, thus, are synonyms. 

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Vindictive means to show an intent to harm someone.
  • Chimerical means containing tissue with two or more genetically distinct populations of cells.
  • Cherubic means to have a round, attractive face like a child.
