A Correct answer
Explanation

Only living beings can be intelligent (not room). Also, intelligence cannot be a negative trait to be clubbed with 'witless'. Nor can 'mournful' be. 'Mournful' replies cannot be music to the listener's ears, though in a way, dumb replies can be music to the ears of a rival.
