D Correct answer
Explanation

Tenuous means very weak, slight, or insubstantial - having little substance or strength. 'Insubstantial' is a direct synonym as both describe something lacking in substance, solidity, or firmness. Finite means limited, embedded means fixed, convinced means certain, and proximate means near - none of which capture the weakness or slightness of tenuous.
