C Correct answer
Explanation

Dishevelled refers to someone's appearance being untidy, messy, or unkempt - especially hair or clothing that looks neglected. In an interview context, presenting yourself in a disorganized manner could negatively impact your chances. 'Ugly' refers to appearance, 'unenthusiastic' to attitude, and 'unnerved' to being unsettled - but dishevelled specifically means messy in appearance.
