Correct Answer:

Noticeable

Explanation:

The most appropriate synonym of the given word salient is noticeable.

  • Sturdy means strong and well-made.
  • Navigable means able to be traveled by ships or boats.
  • Marine means relating to the sea or the navy.
  • Noticeable means easily seen or observed.

Salient means standing out or projecting prominently. It is often used to describe something that is important or significant.

Noticeable has a similar meaning, but it is more general in that it refers to anything that is easily seen or observed. For example, we might say that a salient feature of a painting is the use of color, or that a salient detail of a story is the character's motivation.
