Answer 1

The correct option is : imperishable

Key Points

"Sustainable" refers to the ability to be maintained at a certain rate or level, especially without causing damage or depletion of resources. (धारणीय)
- For example: Sustainable practices are essential for environmental preservation and future generations' well-being.
"Imperishable" suggests something that lasts forever and is not subject to decay, aligning with the concept of sustainability in its enduring and lasting nature. (अविनाशी)
- For example: Diamonds are considered imperishable due to their enduring nature.

Therefore, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Additional Information

"Vast" refers to a great extent or quantity but does not specifically relate to sustainability. (विशाल)
- For example: The vast ocean stretched as far as the eye could see.
"Unsuitable" means not fitting or inappropriate, which is unrelated to the concept of sustainability. (अनुपयुक्त)
- For example: The movie is unsuitable for young children.
"Rare" means not occurring very often, which does not convey the sense of ongoing endurance or feasibility that "sustainable" does. (दुर्लभ)
- For example: The rare bird is only seen in this part of the country.
