A Correct answer
Explanation

Brutal means savagely cruel, harsh, or severe - showing no mercy or pity. 'Merciless' is an accurate synonym as it describes exactly this quality of being without mercy or compassion. The other options (meek, sensitive, inimical) are opposite or only partially related - meek and sensitive are the opposite of brutal.
