Explanation

Pithy means concise, terse, and forcefully expressive - brief but full of meaning or wisdom. Crisp remarks are short, clear, and impactful. Ordinal (A) means relating to order, parting (C) just means final, and sensitive (D) means emotionally responsive, none of which capture the quality of being brief but meaningful.
