    A Charlatan Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Cynic Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Pragmatist Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Idealist Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Charlatan refers to a fraud or impostor—someone who falsely claims to have knowledge or expertise in a certain field, often to deceive others. Cynic is a person who believes that people are motivated purely by self-interest and often doubts sincerity. Pragmatist is someone who is practical and focused on results rather than ideals. Idealist is a person guided by high principles or lofty goals, often unrealistic in practical matters. Since "Charlatan" best describes a pretender of knowledge or skill, it is the most  appropriate answer.
