What is the meaning of reluctant?

• A. Unwilling to do something
• B. Prepared to do something
• C. Eager to do something
• D. Capable of doing something

Answer: (A)

Reluctant describes a sense of hesitation or unwillingness to do something. It means you would rather not do it and are slow to agree. The best match is unwilling to do something because that captures the core feeling of reluctance. The other options describe being prepared, eager, or capable—qualities that show readiness, enthusiasm, or ability, which are different from not wanting to do it or hesitating.
