A (baffling) problem

  • A.Difficult
  • B.Simple
  • C.Puzzling
  • D.New

Answer: C

A baffling problem is a puzzling one.

To baffle is to bewilder or perplex someone completely, so a baffling problem is one that leaves you unable to understand or explain it, which is exactly what puzzling means.

Difficult is close but weaker: a difficult problem may be hard work yet perfectly clear, whereas a baffling one confuses. Simple is the opposite, and new says only that the problem has not been met before, not that it perplexes.
