    Solution

    In the given sentence, use of 'dedicate'(verb) is incorrect as the adjective 'unflagging' will modify a noun. Choice 1 i.e. 'renowned' (means 'famous'), 'indomitable' (means 'impossible to subdue or defeat') and 'dedication'(means 'the quality of being dedicated or committed to a task or purpose') fit in the given sentence both contextually and grammatically. In choice 2, use of word 'conquerable' (means 'possible to defeat or take control of by force') is incorrect as the sentence talks about a person who battled strongly against cancer and also he was committed to theatre. Choice 3 i.e. 'esteemed' (means 'admired'), 'invincible' (means 'too powerful to be defeated or overcome') and 'devotion' (means 'love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for an activity) fit in the given sentence both contextually and grammatically. Hence, the answer is option b).
