    B

    pathetic

    Incorrect Answer

    quandary

    Incorrect Answer

    unenviable

    Correct Answer

    estranged

    Incorrect Answer

    degrading

    Incorrect Answer
    Explanation:

    Usage of "estranged" which refers to 'alienated' is absolutely absurd here and the option D is hence eliminated.
    "Pathetic" or "degrading" are too intense to be thought of and hence both of them can be eliminated as well.
    "Quandary" which means 'a state of perplexity' is not going well with the context either. Clearly, the banks were not perplexed, their situation was rather unenviable or unpleasant and therefore "unenviable" is the most suited word for the blank.
    Option C is hence the correct answer.
