Solution
✅ Correct Option: 1
- 'helpful' - This is correct. The word 'conducive' means 'helpful' or 'making a certain situation or outcome likely or possible.' The passage uses it in the context of 'conditions conducive to existence of life,' meaning conditions that are helpful or favorable for life.
- 'bountiful' - This is incorrect. 'Bountiful' means abundant or generous, which does not fit the meaning of 'conducive.'
- 'purposeful' - This is incorrect. 'Purposeful' means having a clear aim or purpose, which is not the meaning of 'conducive.'
- 'remorseful' - This is incorrect. 'Remorseful' means feeling regret or guilt, which is unrelated to the meaning of 'conducive.'
