Incorrigible : Even after spending a year in jail, the man remained incorrigible.
Answer: A
In this context incorrigible means unreformed.
Incorrigible (from Latin in-, not, and corrigere, to correct) describes someone whose bad habits cannot be corrected. A year in jail was meant to reform the man, and the sentence says he stayed the same: unreformed.
'Reformable' is the opposite, someone who can be corrected. 'Regretful' and 'penitent' both mean sorry for wrongdoing, which is the state a reformed prisoner might reach, not the one the sentence describes.
