D Correct answer
Explanation

'Sanguine' means optimistic, hopeful, or confident, derived from the belief that blood (sanguis) was associated with a cheerful temperament. Its opposite is 'pessimist' (though more precisely 'pessimistic'). 'Mechanical' (A), 'vital' (B), and 'stealthy' (C) are unrelated.
