C Correct answer
Explanation

Misfortune means bad luck or an unfortunate event. Option C (Ill-luck) is the correct answer. The prefix 'mis-' means 'bad' or 'wrong', and 'fortune' means luck - so misfortune literally means bad luck. 'Fortunate' is the opposite, while 'Poverty' and 'Sadness' are different concepts.
