C Correct answer
Explanation

Fulsome means excessive, overabundant, or done to an exaggerated degree. It's often used in phrases like 'fulsome praise' meaning praise that is so excessive it seems insincere. The word has a negative connotation of going too far, being overly generous in a way that seems excessive rather than genuine. It doesn't mean 'kindly' or 'generous' in a positive sense.
