He is the posthumous child of a lawyer

  • A.brilliant
  • B.physically challenged
  • C.born after the death of the father
  • D.illegitimate

Answer: C

Posthumous here means born after the death of the father.

The word comes from the Latin postumus, last-born, and refers to something that happens after a person's death. A posthumous child is born after the father has died; a posthumous award is given after the recipient's death; a posthumous novel is published after its author dies.

Brilliant, physically challenged and illegitimate are unrelated descriptions of a child; none of them has anything to do with timing after a death.
