The selected answer is wrong:

The instruction for this question is to choose a word that is nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word, which in this case is "gawky". "Gawky" means among other things "clumsy, awkward, as relating to movement". Lumbering and clumsily have a similar meaning. So, the correct answer is D. graceful, which means 'elegant movement'. Thank you.
