- The sentence describes a man who lacks resources or wealth. The word "destitute" suggests someone who is extremely poor.

- Let’s look at the options:

- Replete: This means filled or well-supplied, the opposite of destitute. It doesn't fit here.

- Polite: Refers to someone having good manners. Not related to financial state.

- Indigent: Means very poor or needy. Synonymous with destitute.

- Greedy: Describes someone with an excessive desire for more. Unrelated to poverty.

Indigent is the correct choice as it aligns with the meaning of destitute.
