Applicable means...

• A. Relevant and appropriate
• B. Not relevant
• C. Outdated
• D. Confusing

Answer: (A)

Applicable means something that fits the situation and can be used here—it's relevant and appropriate to the context. Think of a rule or a guideline that directly governs what you should do in this scenario; it’s the one that you can actually apply. That sense best matches the idea of applicability. It’s not about being unrelated, so not relevant would miss the point. It isn’t about being old or no longer valid, so outdated doesn’t fit. And it isn’t about being unclear or hard to understand, so confusing isn’t appropriate either.
