Explanation:

Explain

A comparison is made between Mr. Basu and his wife.

Hence, the comparative degree of the adjectives has to be used.

Though “more intelligent” is the comparative degree of “intelligent”, “lively” is the positive degree.

Hence, the sentence would be correct if “lively” is replaced by its comparative degree “livelier”.

Correct Sentence :

Mr. Basu is eclipsed by his wife who is much livelier and more intelligent than he is.

Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
