Which definition best fits 'eventual'?

• A. occurring in the present moment
• B. occurring repeatedly
• C. happening at a time in the future that has not been specified
• D. always expected to occur

Answer: (C)

Eventual means something will happen at some point in the future, but the exact time isn’t specified. It describes a future outcome that isn’t immediate and isn’t tied to a specific moment.

This fits best because it captures the idea of a future event without pinpointing when it will occur. The other ideas don’t match as closely: occurring in the present moment describes something happening now, occurring repeatedly implies repetition, and always expected to occur suggests inevitability or certainty rather than just a future possibility.
