A Correct answer
Explanation

'Absurd' means something that is wildly unreasonable, illogical, or inappropriate. 'Ridiculous' is a direct synonym - it means deserving or inviting mockery or derision because it's absurd or unreasonable. The two words are nearly interchangeable. The other options don't fit: 'compress' means to squeeze, 'suspect' means to doubt, and 'none' is not a valid meaning.
