A Correct answer
Explanation

Humdrum means lacking variety or excitement; dull, monotonous, or routine. Option A 'monotonous' is the correct synonym as it conveys the same sense of repetitive, unvarying sameness that characterizes a humdrum life. Options B, C, and D all suggest excitement or activity, which are opposites of humdrum.
