Effeminate
Answer: C
The synonym of effeminate is Womanish.
Effeminate is used, usually disapprovingly, of a man who has qualities traditionally thought typical of women. It comes from the Latin effeminare, 'to make womanish', so womanish is its direct equivalent.
Manly is its opposite. Hard and robust describe toughness and strong health, qualities traditionally linked with the masculine, so they point away from the meaning rather than towards it.
