The correct answer is

lowest point

The correct answer is lowest point.

Both words can be used in both literal (astronomical) and figurative contexts. In astronomy, the zenith is the point directly overhead, and the nadir is the point directly below. Figuratively, the nadir of a career might be a period of unemployment or failure, while the zenith might be a time of great success or recognition. Understanding these terms helps in interpreting texts that discuss high and low points in various aspects of life or history.
