D Correct answer
Explanation

Tedious means something that is boring, monotonous, and wearisome due to length, repetition, or lack of interest. Tiresome means exactly this - causing fatigue or boredom, especially through dullness or repetition. The other options describe negative qualities (pain, troublesome) or duration (lengthy) but don't capture the specific meaning of 'boring due to monotony'.
