A Correct answer
Explanation

Inevitable describes something certain to happen and impossible to prevent or avoid. The prefix 'in-' negates 'evitable' (avoidable). Impervious means impenetrable by water or other substances, avertable is the direct opposite (can be avoided), and crabbed means ill-tempered or grouchy.
