Explanation

Cupidity means greed or excessive desire for wealth and possessions. It derives from Latin 'cupido' meaning desire. The word has negative connotations similar to avarice or covetousness. 'Heavy' and 'Hard' are unrelated meanings, while 'None of these' is incorrect since 'Greed' is the correct synonym.
