A giant, legit, allies Correct Incorrect

B majority, viable, foe Correct Incorrect

C dominant, credible, adversary Correct Incorrect

D leading, feasibility, combatant Correct Incorrect

E No replacement required Correct Incorrect

Detailed Solution

Solution The intended idea in the question sentence is that India needs to enhance its credibility and improve relationships with its main competitor to be recognized as a significant alternative to China in the industry sector. The original words in bold are incorrect because 'Moderate' does not convey the intended strength, 'fallacious' implies falsehood rather than credibility, and 'rivalry' which is a noun does not specify the opponent. Option A: 'Giant' (large) and 'legit' (genuine) do convey the intended meaning but 'allies' (supporters) is opposite to competitive opponent. Option B: 'Majority' (greater part) is irrelevant as we require an adjective and not a noun and 'foe' (enemy) is not as formal as than 'adversary'. Option D: 'Feasibility' (practicality) is incorrect as it refers to practicality rather than credibility, and 'combatant' (fighter) is too specific compared to 'adversary'. Option C: 'Dominant' (powerful) accurately describes India's industrial goal, 'credible' (trustworthy) fits the need to be a reliable alternative, and 'adversary' (opponent) appropriately refers to the competitive opponent. Hence, option C is correct.
