Select the most suitable synonym of SYNDROME

Characteristics

The correct answer is Option (2) → Characteristics

The term "syndrome" refers to a set of symptoms that collectively characterize a particular disease or disorder, or a recognizable condition resulting from a particular experience. "Characteristics" is the most suitable synonym because it conveys the idea of features or qualities that define or describe a particular condition or situation.

The other options, such as "cosmetic," "cosmic," and "coquette," do not capture the specific meaning of "syndrome" in the given context.
