C Correct answer
Explanation

Clumsy means lacking skill, coordination, or grace in physical movement. Being 'unskilled' as a waiter directly matches this meaning. 'Adept' is the opposite, 'weak' suggests physical strength rather than coordination, and 'unprofessional' is about behavior not physical awkwardness.
