OE
What word did you fill in for the blank? Probably something along the lines of man-made. (A) doesn’t match your word, so eliminate it. (B) is a harder word. If you don’t know what piquant means, then you have to keep it. (C) looks good— synthetic is a good match for man-made— but don’t forget to check out (D) and (E). Aromatic (a trap answer that sounds good in a sentence about perfumes) and variable aren’t close to man-made at all. So you’re left with (B) and (C). Since (B) has a ? and (C) has a pick.
