- BSomething which I don’t accept
- CSomething which I don’t recognize
- DSomething which I don’t understand
Explanation
The idiom 'all Greek to me' means incomprehensible, something one cannot understand (from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar). In the sentence, the speaker finds something unintelligible. Option (d) 'Something which I don't understand' is exact. Options (a) don't believe, (b) don't accept, (c) don't recognize are different from not understanding. Greek symbolizes an unknown language. Therefore option D is correct. Cross-checked with Oswaal CDS Yearwise Solved Papers.
