This question was previously asked in
UPSSSC PET 2026 Question Paper (01-Nov-2026) (Shift-2)
The correct answer is

Frank

“Candid” describes a person or remark that is open, honest and straightforward, saying what one truly thinks without hiding anything.

Diplomatic means tactful and careful not to offend, reserved means slow to reveal feelings, and cautious means careful to avoid risk. All three suggest holding back, which is close to the opposite idea.

Frank means open and direct in speech, which carries the same sense as candid, for example a candid opinion is a frank opinion.

Hence, Frank.
