Explanation:

- Retired: No longer active in service or professional work. Typically used for someone who has stopped working after achieving a certain age.

- Option 1: Incumbent: Refers to someone currently holding a position or office. Typically, the person is still actively working.

- Correct Answer: "Incumbent operator" implies a person who currently holds the position and enjoys the benefits associated with it.

- Option 2: Incandescent: Means emitting light as a result of being heated or passionate in display. It doesn't fit the context of someone holding a position.

- Option 3: Incompetent: Lacking the required skills or ability. It shifts the meaning entirely.

- Option 4: Clumsy: Lacking coordination or skill, which doesn't relate to the context of the sentence about status.

- Option 5: Incapable: Lacking the ability to do something. Similar to 'incompetent,' it changes the intended meaning.
