Select the option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words/phrases.

That which cannot be corrected

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is Incorrigible

Incorrigible means not able to be corrected or reformed, especially of a person's behaviour or habits — exactly matching "that which cannot be corrected."

Impregnable = cannot be captured/entered; Immolation = sacrifice by burning; Ineligible = not qualified. None of these convey "cannot be corrected." Hence the answer is Incorrigible.
