C Correct answer
Explanation

Infirmity refers to physical weakness, frailty, or lack of strength, especially due to old age or illness. Feebleness is the closest synonym, meaning lacking physical strength or vigor. Indolence means laziness, fickleness means unpredictability, and 'lack of frimness' is a misspelling with unclear meaning.
