The committee conducted an exhaustive inquiry.
EnglishSynonyms
- Atime-consuming
- Bcomplicated
- Crenewed
- Dthorough
Explanation
'Exhaustive' means considering all elements; fully comprehensive. An 'exhaustive inquiry' leaves nothing unexamined. 'Thorough' means complete in every detail — the same idea. 'Time-consuming' and 'complicated' describe incidental qualities, and 'renewed' means started again. Hence option (D) is correct.
