Answer:

A. Verbosity

Read Explanation:

  • Verbosity (വാചാലത) refers to using more words than necessary (ആവശ്യത്തിലധികം വാക്കുകൾ ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്നതിനെ സൂചിപ്പിക്കുന്നു), often resulting in long-winded or overly complicated speech or writing.
  • Eloquence - fluent or persuasive speaking or writing (വാക്സാമർത്ഥ്യമുള്ള, ഒഴുക്കും ശക്തിയും സമുചിതത്വവുമുള്ള വാകപ്രയോഗം)
  • Conciseness - Conciseness is the opposite of verbosity. It means expressing much in few words; being brief and to the point (ചുരുക്കിയ, സംക്ഷിപ്തമായ)
  • Laconism - use of very few words to express a lot of information (ചുരുക്കം വാക്കുകളിലുള്ള)
