If i said something is dense, although it has a lot of meaning but according to this sentence, dense means: Thick; difficult to penetrate.
The word "dense" has more than one meaning which are: 1. slow to learn or understand 2. compacted i.e crowded together.
From the above meanings of dense, we can vividly see that the second meaning of the word "dense" is closely related and nearest in meaning to the word "thick" as used in the question because the word thick there means difficult to penetrate, which can be replaced with crowded together.
"Dense" is therefore the correct option.
