Which option best defines the meaning of 'conventional'?

• A. Traditional
• B. Common
• C. Based on what is considered to be traditional or typical
• D. Related to or based on a convention or an agreement

Answer: (C)

Conventional means something that follows the accepted norms or customary practices in a given context. It captures the sense of being based on what is considered traditional or typical. This makes it the best fit because it includes both tradition and what is generally regarded as standard or normal in a situation.

Traditional alone emphasizes heritage, but conventional adds the idea of general acceptance or standard practice. Common focuses on frequency, not necessarily tradition or standard norms. And related to a convention or agreement points to formal rules rather than everyday norms.
