Explanation
The clue ironically indicates that the blank needs to mean the opposite of exceeded the average in education, intellect, and experience, so your answer could be anything that suggests uneducated, unintelligent, or inexperienced. Of the choices, only mediocrity makes sense.
Hence option C is correct!
