C Correct answer
Explanation

Uncouth means lacking good manners, refinement, or sophistication - rough, crude, or socially awkward. Prim means precisely proper, formal, or demure in behavior, making it a direct opposite. Innocuous means harmless, congenital means existing from birth, imminent means about to happen, and splenetic means bad-tempered - none directly oppose uncouth.
